I sold my car at the weekend, to a man who came from the advert, and the clutch slips. A car sold at the weekend to a man who came from the advert, and the clutch slips. Asked out the front whether it had given him any trouble, the seller said it had sailed through its annual safety check in March, which it had, and the check does not cover the clutch. The buyer said that would do him, folded away the questions he had written on an envelope, took it round the block and paid. The companion brings H. P. Grice’s ‘Logic and Conversation’, which separates what a man says from what he implies by saying it, and works the buyer’s side out step by step: the presumption that the seller was cooperating, the maxim about being as informative as is required, and the first item on Grice’s list of ways to fail one, the quiet violation liable to mislead. Then it draws the line between misleading and lying where two philosophers who came after Grice draw it, Timmermann and Viebahn, and finds something in the seller’s favour.
