Subject: Re: IDEAS PRECEED LANGUAGE
In reply to: Binkie2000 's message, "Re: IDEAS PRECEED LANGUAGE" on 17:20:17 01/21/00 Fri

I've intended to visit this site for some time. Especially since that LM forum closed. Finding internet boards where you feel something is actually happening is difficult.

If ideas preceed language, we would live in a very complex and confusing world. There would be little rhyme or reason to it. It would be difficult to identify where they come from and why they come into being. We'd idealise something first, and then seek its justification second. I could say that circles consist of infinite straight lines. I'd have to justify this in such a convoluted manner, it would render it non-sense. If I said ideas are non-material, in that they exist in their own world and not a physical one, would this be true, or just an idea. Do ideas exist apart from truth. If they are subjective, do they eliminate any need for common sense.
