An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding Volume 2 by John Locke CHAPTER I.

OF WORDS OR LANGUAGE IN GENERAL 1.

MAN FITTED TO FORM ARTICULATE SOUNDS god having designed man for a sociable creature made him not only with an inclination and under a necessity to have fellowship with those of his own kind but furnished him also with language which was to be the great instrument and common tie of society man therefore had by nature his organs so fashioned as to be fit to frame articulate sounds which we call words but this was not enough to produce language for parrots and several other birds will be taught to make articulate sounds distinct enough which yet by no means are capable of language two to use the sound as signs of ideas besides articulate sounds therefore it was further necessary that he should be able to use these sounds as signs of internal conceptions and to make them stand as marks for the ideas within his own mind, whereby they might be made known to others, and the thoughts of men's minds be conveyed from one to another.

it is true common use by a tacit consent appropriates certain sounds to certain ideas in all languages which so far limits the signification of that sound that unless a man applies it to the same idea he does not speak properly and let me add that unless a man's words excite the same ideas in the hearer which he makes them stand for in speaking he does not speak intelligently but whatever be the consequence of any man's using words differently, either from their general meaning or the particular sense of the person to whom he addresses them, this is certain.

Their signification in his use of them is limited to his ideas, and they can be signs of nothing else.

the four minute men of chicago by the history committee of the four minute men of chicago Now that this work has come to its conclusion, and the name of the Four Minute Men has become a part of the history of the Great War, I would not willingly omit my heartfelt testimony to its great value to the country, and indeed to civilization as a whole, during our period of national trial and triumph.

Thank you so much for giving us that little update on how Essay in a Jar is going.

I know you've got your work cut out for you, though, because I think there could be actually about 10 or so from the ABC, but I think overall there's about

24 entries in the Essay in a Jar competition? Yes, that's in the open schedule.

The one that is typically for the, or particularly for the ABC presenters were... eight or nine and one didn't arrive oh so i don't know what happened to your uh announcer or your person within the abc who who didn't who didn't

well i i did enter this i entered with um a recipe from my mother-in-law it was her mother's recipe and um i'll be interested to see how that goes but i won't i probably can't say what i've made yet so well i think i could tell you You good? But no, we won't.

And I guess to answer your question, fiction works...

Essays tend to work at your intellect, at your... at maybe propositional understanding, having insights, seeing connections between things, whereas fiction and poetry work at the imagination, at the level of the imagination.

And the truth is that most human beings are much more motivated by the imagination than by the intellect.

There's this... faculty that I guess Edmund Burke coined that term the moral imagination but the idea is as old as Plato and maybe older though this noticing of the ways in which we enact our moral lives imaginatively the way we cast forth certain ideals and we negotiate those ideals and we're looking forward and so I think I I would like to think Barry very much just loved writing fiction.
