In general, since the Greeks and Romans, people have been interested in giving fancy names to grammatical categories. So I wouldn't be surprised if there are nice neat terms for boulomaic modality, as used before Rescher.
Grice can be simplistic when he speaks of the two faculties of the soul (psyche): the cognitive reason and the practical reason.
If Chomsky used 'cognise' in a pretty idiosyncratic way, Kenny used 'volit'. ("Jones volits to go"). Grice dismisses the verb, 'to volit', but gets the idea from Kenny, which he had gotten from Hare, years before, though.
The idea that there is a radix, or radical, or phrastic, which is mood-less or mode-neutral.

And so on.
