Survey of language, minds & knowledge Sheet № 1 · Index 27.7172° N · 85.3240° E
“We are not students of some subject matter but students of problems. And problems may cut right across the border of any subject matter or discipline.”
Karl R. Popper Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge
“… we are endowed with the ability to come to know that there are things about it that we don’t know, that is, with the ability to formulate and to entertain questions whose answers we know we do not know.”
Sylvain Bromberger On What We Know We Don’t Know: Explanation, Theory, Linguistics, and How Questions Shape Them (1992)

I meander through questions about language, minds and meaning.

What accumulates here are maps, notes, projects, and the occasional attempt at synthesis. Rebuilt at sea, plank by plank. Neurath's way.
