ALMAGRO HOLGADO, Manuel. Classical Expressivism and the Limits of the Naturalistic Interpretation of Intentionality in Grice’s Program. arete [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.1, pp.7-21. ISSN 1016-913X.  http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/10.18800/arete.201701.001.

Grice’s ideas in the field of pragmatics were a turning point in the history of philosophy: they are still of enormous utility and the interpretation of his writings is still open to discussion. However, Grice’s analysis of meaning based on the intentions of the speakers gave room to a naturalistic interpretation of his account, which gives rise to serious problems. In this article, Grice’s account and the naturalistic interpretation of his assessment will be exposed and the objections from classical expressivism will be pointed out. Finally, it will be argued that it is possible to offer a more faithful interpretation, capable of avoiding the criticisms made by the expressivists.

Palabras clave : Grice; naturalism; classical expressivism; intentionality; normativity.
