JA: I don't have much experience with any form of knowledge that I'd dare
call "pure", but it's certainly a rule of thumb to say that semantics
is about meaning. The road forks at that point -< some people saying
that meaning is a matter of the relation that a sign bears toward its
objects, some folks thinking that meaning is a matter of the relation
that a sign bears toward its intended concepts or qualities, and then
the road forks again -< what in the world do we intend by our notions
of "concepts" and "qualities", anyway? Then there are those pilgrims
that jump on their donkeys and ride off on all of those paths at once. (03)
JP, quoting YB:
And Yogi Berra famously said: "When you come to the fork in the road,
take it". (04)
JP: :-) (05)
Hah! -- I did, "And that has made all the difference" (RF). (06)
