I feel there is something of an issue about the ‘naming of things’ and the relationship between naming and meaning explored in a glossary. I believe that between definitions and meanings there is a ‘mind the gap’ moment where creativity can be found. Which is just a way of saying, watch out, words are being used weirdly here! And how about metaphors and analogies. I found this cool cartoon online. A problem with communicating through language is that sometimes a word means something in your head that you can't get out clearly, or that you know isn't the 'standard' way other folks think of it. It's that 'how do we know that we both see red/green' (the same colour when we talk about colour) thing that philosophers love to chat about. Comments are closed.
