Definitions of Words
Definitions of Words Before I can go on to lay out the foundations of my belief system, I think it would be helpful to shed some light on the playing field in which these ideas are to be considered. This playing field is constructed of words and statements, of course, but the precise meaning of "words" and "statements" is often left unclear. I will begin by defining these things as I intend to use them. I will also make a cursury attempt to explain the different types of statements we will encounter, the importance of falsifiablity and the role of faith, in addition to a smattering of other definitions that will become important as we proceed. Statements The ultimate building blocks of any philosophical system are statements. A statement is an attempt to communicate that which is true (or perceived to be true) through the symbolic code (words) of a language. All symbols are, of course, inherently limited. There exist various properties in a symbol's object of reference which cannot be contained within the symbol itself. An obvious example of this is the property of real existence. We may discuss in detail the various properties of a horse and of a unicorn. Considered statements, properties, object, real, symbol, horse, cannot, statement, property, priori, objects, existence, words, value, unicorn, understand, truth, true, symbolism, nature, fathers, existential, either, contained, wholly, while, various, though, system, symbols, supernatural, responsible, reference, reasonable, reason, reality, premises, playing, occurs, obtained, nor, natural, mean, knowledge, itself, incommunicable, importance, however, helpful, field, exist
