A Glossary of TermsArnouet de Voltaire said “Define your terms, you will permit me again to say, or we shall never understand one another.” The obstacle to this is that language, no matter how colorful or wordy, often falls short of the effort. Master Kung [@ 551 - 479 B.C.E.] noted that “Writing cannot express words completely. Words cannot express thoughts completely, [I Ching; p. 322].” To express the inexpressible we may employ images, sometimes verbal, to help. As effective as this is it still requires that we share a similar set of meanings for an image to understand each other. On this page I attempt to gloss over what I mean when I employ certain words. There is no attempt here to convince anyone that this is the way to use a word. As imprecise as language can be, I only wish not to be misunderstood. |
