MESSAGE FOR WEEK BEGINNING 12th January 2009

Language

Language has always had a strong influence on thinking. Aristotelian 'box logic' is really language logic. Something is defined by a particular word and what does not fit this definition does not fit in that 'box'. In time we shall develop more of the 'field effect' logic - which does not have to be more complex in use. Send me examples of how language dominates and determines our thinking.
