Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sociology Diagrammatically Systematized "It has been frequently said that most controversies are about words. This is true; but it implies much more than it seems to imply. Verbal differences are not what they are sometimes supposed to be - merely formal, outward, slight, accidental differences, that might be removed by a simple explanation, or by a reference to Johnson´s Dictionary. They are differences arising from the more or less perfect, from the more or less full and correct conception attached to words: it is the mind that is at fault, not the tongue merely. Half the perplexities of men are traceable to obscurity of thought, hiding and breeding under obscurity of language." "For. ´Words´, "argues Archbishop Trench, "are not merely arbitrary signs, but living powers... they may be the fool´s counters, but are the wise man´s money; not like the sands of the sea innumerable disconnected atoms, but growing out of roots, clustering in families, connecting and inter-twining themselves with all that men have been doing and thinking and feeling from the beginning of the world until now. Many a single word also (p. 5), is itself a concentrated poem, having stores of practical thought and imagery laid up in it. Examine it, and it will be found to rest on some deep analogy of things natural and things spiritual, bringing those to illustrate, and to give an abiding form and body to these." "In the growth of Words indeed all the activities of the Mind conspire. Language is the mirror of the living inward Conscious-ness. Language is concrete metaphysics. What rays does it let in on the Mind´s subtle workings! There is more of what there is of essential in metaphysics - more of the structural action of the human mind in Words, than in the concerted intro-spection, of all the psychologists." "Language," adds Dr. James Martineau, "is the great confessional of the human heart, and betrays by its abiding record many a natural feeling which would escape our artificial inspection, and it is better worth interrogating than the mixed product of our spontaneous life, and conventional opinions." "Neither therefore can there be any treaty dividing the domain of truth. Every one truth is connected with every other truth in this great universe of God.
