This was a fascinating read. You may find an essay in my recent post history on the purported difference between “Greek” and “Hebrew” ways of thinking interesting.
I stumbled on this essay while reading a book that does a meta-analysis of Lakoff’s “objectivism vs experientialism” and then proposes an integration as part of a larger integration project for general and domain language. It does so while also addressing implications for Machine translation and AI, but I’m neither a linguist nor an AI researcher so I find myself wondering what someone more familiar with Lesswrongian projects than I would think of it.
The integration it proposes is through the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, my(budding) area of expertise.
Anyways, here it is, and I’d be interested to hear your thoughts if you do read it.
