Grice uses 'volitional' (Grice 2001, Aspects of Reason) but he means boulomaic.

The advantage of 'boulomaic' is that it's less of a hybrid. It's pure Grecian. It contrasts with 'doxastic' and allows for 'sub-doxastic', 'sub-boulomaic'.

Grice proposes the reduction of the doxastic (or .-accepting, or judging, to !-accepting, or willing in a crucial section of his Method, from the banal to the bizarre). Enjoy!

--- "boulemaic" is less well formed than 'boulomaic' is.
