Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grice’s account of speaker-meaning is the standard others use to define their own minor divergences or future elaborations. His metaphysical defense of absolute values is considered the beginning of a new phase in philosophy. He has carefully framed these essays to emphasize not a certain set of ideas but a habit of mind, a style of philosophizing.
