H. P. Grice on 'philosophia' as 'regina scientiarum'

“Among such critics of 'ordinary-language' philosophy are to be found those who, in effect, are ready to go along with the old description of 'philosophia' as regina scientiarum but only under a re-interpretation of this phrase.”

“regina must be understood to mean not ‘sovereign queen,’ like Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth II, but ‘queen consort,’ like Queen Alexandra or Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother; and the sovereign of which philosophy is the queen-consort ·might turn out to be either science in general or just physical science.”
