Noam Chomsky - "On Referring" Revisited

 

Click To Play

In this talk, delivered at Harvard University on October 30th 2007, the most eminent linguist of modern times argues for a strictly internalist treatment of questions of natural-language meaning. Chomsky discusses externalist approaches of Putnam, Kripke and others who hold that crucial aspects of meaning rely on the nature of an independently given external world. This cherished tenet of philosophy of language, Chomsky argues, has things backwards: dropping unwarranted metaphysical assumptions, we find that the internal language system is purely syntactic and hence "in the head", as a part of the "cognoscitive powers" that construct the organism's Umwelt.

The talk was part of the interdisciplinary reading group Internalist Explorations Of Meaning. For more information, visit the group's website.

وای بر ما که رو آب مثل حبابیم

 

با صدای محمدرضا شجریان، کاری از عطاالله خرم، بر روی کلامی از بیژن سمندر . (مـنـبـع منبع)

من و تو قصه‌ی یک کهنه کتابیم، مگه نه؟
یه سوالیم، یه سوال بی‌جوابیم، مگه نه؟
یه روزی قصه‌ی پرغصه‌ی ما تموم می‌شه
آخرش نقطه‌ی پایان کتابیم، مگه نه؟
پشت هم موج بلا می‌شکنه و جلو می‌آد
وای بر ما که رو آب مثل حبابیم، مگه نه؟
کی می‌گه ما با هم‌ایم ، ما که با هم جفت غمیم
دو تا عکسیم و به زندون یه قابیم، مگه نه؟
ای خدا ابر محبت چرا بارون نداره
آسمون خشکه و ما تشنه‌ی ابریم، مگه نه؟
کار دنیا رو که چشمم دیده بود گفت به دلم
ما دو تا پنجره‌ی رو به سرابیم، مگه نه… مگه نه؟

C. G. Jung: Do you believe in God

Did you believe in God?
Oh. Yes!
Do you believe in God, now?
Difficult to answer. I know. I don't need to believe. I know.
