Grice e Timeo: la
ragione conversazionale a Roma e l’implicatura conversazionale della filosofia
italiana – filosofia calabrese -- Grice italo-- Luigi Speranza, pel Gruppo di
Gioco di H. P. Grice, The Swimming-Pool Library, Villa Speranza (Locri). Filosofo
italiano. Locri, Reggio Calabria, Calabria. T. is the lead character in a
dialogue by Plato, named, of course after him. T. is described as rich, a
sometime holder of high office, and a philosopher of considerable
accomplishment – “which, by Plato’s standards, means a lot” – Grice. According
to CICERONE, Plato meets Timeo and studies with him – “or *under* him, as the
Greeks have it.” – Grice. In the dialogue, Timeo expounds a theory of how the
natural world came into existence – “even if nobody asked him!” – Grice. CICERONE
describes Timeo as a Pythagorean – “But everybody except himself was a
Pythagorean for Cicerone!” – Grice. Giamblico in fact describes two men named
Timeo as Pythagoreans (“But he wasn’t wearing glasses!” – Grice. His works are
considered apocryphal – “but that is a complimentary epithet at Oxford, as
Strawson well knows!” Grice: “Timeo puts Locri on the philosophical map!” Grice:
But of course Cuoco is right and Pythagoras himself was possibly from Locri!” –
Grice. Keywords: CICERONE.
