Owen and Grice on Aristotle

Speranza

But I would like to think that since Grice quotes from this book by Owen, he (Grice) was having the 'historical' discussion of Aristotle as was current in Oxford. (Or something).

----- This in the broader PUBLIC context. We know that in the "private" (or semi-private, actually 'public', too, lectures that Grice _and Strawson_ gave at Oxford in the 1940s and 1950s, Aristotle AND CATEGORIES figured large. So it's only natural that Grice, at a later stage, found the motivation to revise his notes on the alleged semantic multiplicity of 'being', as it connects with the 'first' category of the susbstance, and that of qualitas (qualia), and idioms like 'essence', 'tode ti', and such. (Or something).

Cheers.
