Grice e Valerio: la ragione conversazionale a Roma e l’implicatura conversazionale della morale togata – il gentiluomo romano-- filosofia italiana – Luigi Speranza, pel Gruppo di Gioco di H. P. Grice, The Swimming-Pool Library (Roma). Filosofo italiano. A philosopher of little originality, and a notorious flatterer of TIBERIO (vedi). He is best known for producing his IX books of memorable doings and sayings – the work is designed primarily as a resource for moral education by means of examples – showing how virtue is rewarded and vice punished. It preserves many otherwise lost snippets taken from a variety of sources – including newspapers. His ‘saggi’ are not much regarded today, but they were bestsellers throughout the dark ages and the Italian renaissance, “and I do find them incredibly amusing on a lazy after-noon,” – Grice. Morale pretesto. Ed Shackleton, Loeb. Skidmore, “Practical ethics for Roman Gentlemen”. Valerio Massimo. Keywords: Roma antica. Per H. P. Grice’s Play-Group, The Swimming-Pool Library, Villa Speranza.
