| Synopsis: |
These papers explore the linguistic, philosophical and computational problems encountered when attempting to attribute meaning, whether to words or to electronic data. This volume argues that the search for a theory of human thinking and knowledge now crosses all disciplinary boundaries with system biology, biophysics and neuroscience having as much relevance as philosophy and linguistics. This work maintains that the computer is an instrument for imposing order, that language cannot be grasped without a system of order superimposed by the human mind and that there is a level of thinking that is separate from language. The book suggests that those working in the fields of science and the humanities should find common ground not within language itself, but on a level outside language - the level of thinking and experience. |
