H. P. Grice

 “Between, roughly, 1932 — when Grice arrived at Corpus straight from Clifton (après his little Grand Tour to Italy — and 1967 — when Grice finally opened that letter and accepted to be brain-drained to the Pacific coastal elite — Oxford philosophy was dominated by a loose movement inspired by Moore and Wittgenstein, or Vitters, as Grice called him.”

“Its opponents called it "Ordinary-language philosophy"(or "Oxford philosophy," since its most eminent proponents-Ryle, Austin, Grice, and Strawson-were based in Oxford — ‘and in England’s imagination there is no contest.’

“They themselves preferred labels such as

"conceptual analysis" or "linguistic philosophy" for they regarded philosophical problems as conceptual and concepts as embodied in language, notably by ‘this tenacity the Englishman (but never the English woman, who knows better) has to *implicate*’!”
