Högre seminariet i filosofi bjuder in till seminarium med Andy Peet, seminariet har den engelska titeln "Understanding Gricean Communication".
Abstract (på engelska): Grice, in attempting to provide an analysis of meaning, identified an important species of communication – what we might call “Gricean communication”. Grice’s own analysis of the intentions that underwrite Gricean communication faces a number of well-known challenges. In this talk I focus on three: 1. The irrationality of Gricean intentions given contextual under specification, 2. The problem of lucky communication, 3. The problem of Strawsonian deception. I will provide a new analysis of the intentions underwriting Gricean communication that resolves all these problems and integrates into a novel picture of interpretation and utterance understanding that I am currently developing.
Observera att seminariet ges på engelska. Alla intresserade är välkomna att delta!
