Grice on free-will as INITIALISER -- Aristotle on arkhe, aitia, etc.

--- by JLS

GRICE, who was a humanist, speaks in "Actions and Events" of a construction of the conception of 'freedom' (He needs freedom to justify absolute value):

"a culminating stage at which the conception of a certain mode by a human ... of something as being for that creature's good is SUFFICIENT to *initiate* the doing of that thing."

--- where the keyword is 'initiate', as it combines with what B. Doyle writes on 'arkhe' in Informationphilosopher.

The first cause, the beginning.
