On the strenghth of this quotation from A name where there had been none | Culture Making which goes like this: "God is perfectly capable of naming every animal and giving Adam a dictionary—but he does not. He makes room for Adam’s creativity—not just waiting for Adam to give a pre-existing right answer to a quiz, but genuinely allowing Adam to be the one who speaks something out of nothing, a name where there had been none, and allowing that name to have its own being.
—Culture Making, p.109"
I moved the book from my pending file to ordered: it puts well the kind of thing I've been developing under the tag 'homo_loquens' ... and actually written some papers about. Time to dust 'em off, perhaps and head for publication if it's not too late.
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
