Cheerskep In all these years of discussing thing with you (sequentially sending electronic messages to each other's attention), I now realize that I don't have a very clear notion of what concept you entertain when you write
notion meaning name What is a notion composed of? How does anyone (or you particularly) construct or form a notion? How do representations of external objects (a horsey, say, or any other perceptible thing) stimulate a notion, and how does your thinking or cognitive faculty establish a relationship between discrete stimulated notions of a horsey and a foopgoom. In other words, how do you (or anyone) establish the notions of relationships, such as causation, or modals such as possibility, or the subjunctive, a probationary contradiction? I don't think you've ever addressed this. You have only offered us your son's horsey, the Andean sheepherd's incomprehension of English, and foopgoom. Unless I have misunderstood what you meant previously. <g> By the way, you take Wittgenstein to task for writing, "But what does this mean?"--in particular, his use of "mean." But that's the English translation. What does it say in the original German? > From all of which, and more, I infer Imago doesn't follow Wittgenstein any > more than he follows me or Augustine. You switch between "you" and "Imago": Are you addressing Imago or merely brushing him off in the third person? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady
