Putting Grice's fears in context

Why is Grice propounding an inner conflict between our 'scientific' rational nature and our 'practical' rational nature?

--- From wiki on free will:


The Stoic Chrysippus said that a single uncaused cause could destroy the universe (cosmos),


"Everything that happens is followed by something else which depends on it by causal necessity. Likewise, everything that happens is preceded by something with which it is causally connected. For nothing exists or has come into being in the cosmos without a cause. The universe will be disrupted and disintegrate into pieces and cease to be a unity functioning as a single system, if any uncaused movement is introduced into it."
