Grice's Ladder

Kramer is using the example of the cupola.
You build a cupola the pre-Brunelleschi way: you need a pole, etc. You throw the pole after the thing is done. Ditto Wittgenstein: use me as my own ladder to get to me and then feel free to dispose.

With Grice it's _slightly_ different. Consider two so-called fallacies:

--- intentionalist fallacy (Beardsley). Not a fallacy for Grice. author's intentions (e.g. Keats in writing such an elegant poem) _are_ constitutive (not to say 'relevant', that 'hateful word' in the quote of the OED2 -- under 'relevant') to the thing.

--- etymological fallacy. Harder fish to fry. But in need of some elucidation when one is interested in the 'way of words', which should include the way they were!

--- Etc.
