On Interpretation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162677323)

On Interpretation is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. The book is part of his Organon, a collection of works on logic and reasoning. On Interpretation focuses on the study of language and how it can be used to convey meaning. Aristotle presents his ideas on the nature of language, the relationship between words and concepts, and the role of interpretation in communication. He explores various topics such as the principles of truth and falsehood, the use of language in argumentation, and the nature of propositions. The book is considered a foundational text in the field of linguistics and has been widely studied and debated by scholars throughout history.Spoken words are the symbols of mental experience and written words are the symbols of spoken words. Just as all men have not the same writing, so all men have not the same speech sounds, but the mental experiences, which these directly symbolize, are the same for all, as also are those things of which our experiences are the images.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
