Dear Tim,
Yes I do think the warranted belief that words have
a semi fixed meaning is the basis of intelligible communication -- AND the
source of many a misunderstanding as well. I think most of us are pretty
much alike when it comes to our fundamental goals but very diverse in our
circumstances and our ways and means of achieving of goals.
But speaking just for myself I like the way we have chosen here on the
Percy list -- mostly talk talk talk. And when it comes to
politics I judge the man, not his agenda -- so you've all got my
vote. But not my silence. Maybe I've given you the short end
of the bargain!
Best,
Jim Piat
Its this prejudice that enable us to articulate or communicate anything at all, dont you think? And I think that the targeted way in which these prejudices are being challenged indicates a larger political agenda, and not a detached, purely academic |
