The System of Language
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, amen. In light of the philosophical works I have been creating, I am interested in the establishment of a clear system of language. This system of language will greatly aid in the formation of a philosophical system. What is a system of language? The system of language is the order of relationships beetween symbols of language to form a cohesive and coherent whole of meaning in language.
We begin with the
relationships contained within words, then we move up the hierarchy to
sentences, paragraphs, texts, and finally between texts. We form this system by
analysis. What is analysis? Analysis is the breakdown of language to its
simplest constituents. There is the breakdown of words and relationships of
words in a sentence, the relationship of sentences, paragraphs, and finally
texts. The final plan is to establish a philosophical dictionary of every unit
of language, be it a word, sentence, paragraph, or text to later be abstracted
into the system of language.
My most immediate plan
is to analyze the catechism and formulate its system of language to discover
the deepest meanings of the text. As I wish to understand the teachings of the
Church in its entirety and reveal what God actually says to us according to the
Church. The catechism's analysis shall be a long project which aims to end in a
dictionary of the catechism, revealing the relationship of language and meaning
inside the text, beginning with each paragraph of the catechism. Glory be to
the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end, amen.
