Thoughts In Words

Thoughts that lie dormant often struggle for expression. They translate into words only when time is ripe—at an opportune moment. These verses, often serious and sometimes written in a lighter vein, are reflections of various thoughts, moods and experiences, which are facets of that universal experience called life! Written in a simple, lucid style, Thoughts to Words has a universal appeal and leaves the reader with a pleasant, feel-good effect.

Words, Thoughts, and Theories articulates and defends the "theory theory" of cognitive and semantic development, the idea that infants and young children, like scientists, learn about the world by forming and revising theories, a view of the origins of knowledge and meaning that has broad implications for cognitive science. Gopnik and Meltzoff interweave philosophical arguments and empirical data from their own and other's research. Both the philosophy and the psychology, the arguments and the data, address the same fundamental epistemological question: How do we come to understand the world around us? Recently, the theory theory has led to much interesting research. However, this is the first book to look at the theory in extensive detail and to systematically contrast it with other theories. It is also the first to apply the theory to infancy and early childhood, to use the theory to provide a framework for understanding semantic development, and to demonstrate that language acquisition influences theory change in children.The authors show that children just beginning to talk are engaged in profound restructurings of several domains of knowledge. These restructurings are similar to theory changes in science, and they influence children's early semantic development, since children's cognitive concerns shape and motivate their use of very early words. But, in addition, children pay attention to the language they hear around them and this too reshapes their cognition, and causes them to reorganize their theories.

Ulman examines the role of grammar and theories of language in the formation of eighteenth-century rhetorical theory, investigating the significance of language theory for such key concerns of eighteenth-century rhetoric as verbal criticism, style, taste, and elocution.

WE USE THE WORD “GOOD” EVERY DAY without really thinking about what it truly means. What does “good” mean? We say “good morning,” we call a tasty meal “good,” and if we’ve seen a movie we liked we say it was “good.” But “good” has a deeper meaning, one that is central to the core of our being, and expresses our authentic self. Zarathustra, the founder of Mazdaism and Zoroastrianism, teaches the meaning of “good” by encouraging “good thoughts, good words, good deeds.” This teaching delves into the consciousness of each person’s right to choose. By becoming aware of our internal world and choosing good thoughts and good words, we reach higher levels of consciousness and the result is doing good deeds. We grow into our authentic selves when we do no harm to ourselves or others. This is the meaning of “good.” By once again employing analogy and metaphor, Bahram invites us into a deeper understanding of what it means to choose what is good and follow the universal teachings of Zarathustra.
