Abstract

The present study tries to philosophically approach the context through the application of the concept of probability in the construction of the meaning. Actually, the semantic stimulates many meanings depending on the general awareness level of the receiver. In this area, we may wonder if the receiver can exactly understand the real semantic as meant by the sender. We may ask a philosophical question here, “is it possible to transfer the meaning or the semantic objectively?” My suggestion is that when the semantic, as a signal here, has been detected by our brains, it is going to be filtered and reformed again. We may argue that this is the real meaning, or this is our perception. Within our minds, we create our perceptions, and awareness levels are generated accordingly. In this context, we would like to include the concept of probability to formulate the meaning. In other words, in the mental space, there are large numbers of entities that have relative importance in our minds. This importance is characterized by being not constant among persons, and varied even for the same person based on his psychological state, educational level, and life experience. We would like to put focus on the concept of ambivalence. I think personally that the ambivalence is hypothesized within the mental space more than being a reality. The probabilities by which the meaning rotates around the axis of semantics would determine for what extent we are going to form our perception. This understanding defines our philosophy in judging things. In this study, we think that ambivalence is not necessarily available and can be understood as different entities in our mental spaces. I believe that we can have a better understanding of religious books because the text stimulates many entities in the mental area of the reader. The probabilities of constructing the meanings are widely occurring, which may lead to ambivalences depending on how the receiver can understand or formulate his mental space. Accordingly, implementing this approach will make the text alive.
