A Healthy Griceian

From wiki:

"Aquinas made a distinction between aequivocal, univocal and analogical terms, the latter being those like "healthy" that have different but related meanings."

Grice refers to this as all having a focus.

Wiki:

"Not only a person can be "healthy", but also the food that is good for health (see the contemporary distinction between polysemy and homonymy)."

Indeed, but recall Grice's

"Do not multiply senses beyond necessity". Hence his point that Aristotle's 'multiplicity' of being is an alleged one. In this Grice is opposing Owen's "Snares of Ontology".

Wiki goes on:

"Thomas Cajetan wrote an influential treatise on analogy. In all of these cases, the wide Platonic and Aristotelian notion of analogy was preserved. James Francis Ross in Portraying Analogy (1982_ [was] the first substantive examination of the topic since Cajetan's De Nominum Analogia."
