Semantics Quotes

It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.

the analogy between the noises we make when these noises do not symbolize anything which exists, and the worthless checks we write when our bank balance is zero

It is now no mystery that some quite influential philosophers were mentally ill.

Whatever you say it is, it isn't.

I don't want to get bogged down in semantics causing problems.

Pervez Musharraf

The strategy of semantic ascent is that it carries the discussion into a domain where both parties are better agreed on the objects (viz., words) and on the main terms connecting them. Words, or their inscriptions, unlike points, miles, classes and the rest, are tangible objects of the size so popular in the marketplace, where men of unlike conceptual schemes communicate at their best. The strategy is one of ascending to a common part of two fundamentally disparate conceptual schemes, the better to discuss the disparate foundations. No wonder it helps in philosophy.

Willard Van Orman Quine
