I would like to pay homage to Allen Philipps Griffiths. I met him when he invited me in 1987 to give a talk at the Royal Institute of philosophy on ” Contemporary French analytic philosophy”. I was very honored , but to the disappointment of the audience reported that there wasn’t any. Thirty years later I’m still unsure whether there is any. He was a very charming man, who already at that time seemed to me to rather old. He took me to dnner with his friend Cyril Barrett, who was a Jesuit and who wrote on Wittgenstein , and then to the Saville Club, one of the most famous Clubs in London of which he was a member. That was a very memorable evening ( I mean for me to go to a British Club, not to talk about a nonentity) . Philipps Griffiths incarnated, in my eyes, The British Philosopher: sharp, smart , kind, rather distant, ironical, funny. He belonged to the generation of students of Ryle and HH Price. He published many books, and edited quite a lot . His article “On Belief” in the volume he edited for OUP on Knowledge and Belief is a masterpiece. It proposed, after Cook Wilson and Findlay, a first version of what is now called the fitting attitude conception of belief. Just an incentive to oblivious-or- ignorant-of-literature- earlier- than- two- years-ago-young- philosophers to read that article.
