19. My earlier
concept of meaning originates in a primitive philosophy of language. –
Augustine on the learning of language.
He describes a calculus of our language, only not everything that is in this
calculus.
true enough –
and this observation
will apply to any attempt to speak once and for all of the nature of language –
any theory we have –
as useful as it may be – in whatever context it is applied –
is open to question
– open to doubt –
uncertain
