Abstract

There is a theory about knowledge of the meanings of words which has been held by philosophers as different as existentialists and crude empiricists. 1 It may be called the empiricist theory, and is stated thus: If anyone fully understands the meaning of ‘ x ’, then the object denoted by ‘ x ’ must have been experienced or ‘encountered’ by that person
