--- Antecedents for Kant's table in Aristotle -- dicussed by Chapman.
How Grice found the table useful when delivering the "grand" plan for the William James lectures.
Recall that for Aristotle, the FIRST category is the substance -- hardly qualitas, or quantitas. To his credit, he coined those possibly ugly words ('such' and 'much') out of a common Indo-European base -- cfr. quALe, quA-NTum. Poiotes/posotes in Greek.
The relatio is the pros ti, and the modus becomes the modalitas of the scholastics and Kant.
Grice used Abbott to English the things.
