Grice on seeing -- disimplicated

by JLS

And of course, there's 'see' metaphorical. If you can see that, you have better eyes than most (Humpty Dumpty).

Grice:

"I count msyelf wonderfully fortunate to have begun my philosophical studies as a pupil of W. F. R. Hardie, ... whose book on the Nicomachean Ethics, in one of its earliest incarnations as a set of lecture-notes, sa me through years of teaching Aristotle's moral theory."

(p. 46, "My life -- in a few words (described))

Note that, strictly, it is Grice who saw the lecture-notes.

It may be argued that Grice didn't see that.
