Grice's raison d'être

Plural 's', there, 'raisons'. But mainly to share my marginal comment to Chapman's ch. 8 -- "Metaphysics and Value", in her bio of _Grice_.

Grice is often playing with

ratio essendi

which is a beautiful scholasticism!

(Reply to Richards -- "The scholastics distinguished, nicely, between ratio essendi, which are a trick, and ratio cognoscendi, which are a piece of cake.")
