Grice at Ruhr -- On the concept of structure in Grice and Carnap --

Speranza

The Rudolf Carnap Lectures -- not necessarily about Carnap (although cfr. talk below by Guido).

Cfr. Grice's William James lectures not really about James ("Logic and Conversation")
and his "John Dewey" lecture, and his "Paul Carus" lectures, and so on.

Still, Ruhr is the most charming place to hold the Carnap lectures, and I'm pleased to think Grice would be invited!


Cheers,

Speranza
