What Grice and Strawson '[showed]' about the 'supposed circle' of intensional notions

--

For the record, Quinton explicitly quotes from Grice/Strawso 1956 -- No wonder the essay got well onto Strawson's collection! (Along with Grice, "Meaning"). So this is the THIRD volume that Grice shared with Quinton:

Swartz, which reprints Grice 1961 and Quinton, "Problem of Knowledge"
Perry, which reprints Grice 1957 and Quinton, "The soul"
and
Strawson, which reprints Grice 1948 and Quinton, "The analytic and the apriori"

Quinton:

"Grice and Strawson have shown that the supposed circle of intensional terms- synonymous, analytic, contradictory, etc.- which cannot be defined except in terms of one another" can in fact be shown not to be such a circle.
