“Language is virtually always pathological; hence the solution is to move as fast and far as possible from language to experience, from linguistic to experimental or psychological philosophy. In order to know that we are not in the linguistic maze, we need to determine, according to Berkeley, whether the things we are talking about exist; hence we need to look for the relevant perceptions. For him, this usually means retiring into himself and trying to imagine whether x exists, having formed the best definition possible of x.” KnowsNeedsTryingLooksMeanPhilosophyMovingOrderLanguageTalkingImaginePerceptionSolutionsDefinitionsDeterminePsychologicalRetiringRelevantMazesBerkeley Author:David Berman
“Thought creates things by slicing up reality into small bits that it can easily grasp. Thus when you are think-ing you are thing-ing. Thought does not report things, it distorts reality to create things, and as Bergson noted, "In so doing it allows what is the very essence of the real to escape." Thus to the extent we actually imagine a world of discrete and separate things, conceptions have become perceptions, and we have in this manner populated our universe with nothing but ghosts.” ThinkingWorldDoeRealRealityUniverseBitsImaginePerceptionEssenceGhostReportsConceptionDiscrete Author:D.T.
