{"product_id":"the-balance-of-meaning","title":"The Balance of Meaning","description":"In The Balance of Meaning Thord Svensson investigates how to possibly\nmake sense of a recognition-transcendent meaning of religious and\nexistentially important words. That is, can the semantic meaning of\nwords like ‘life’, ‘God’, ‘knowledge’ or ‘justice’ extend beyond what\ntheir competent user recognize it to be? In the course of exploring this\nmatter several important questions are addressed: Is the reason for our\nfailure to present an adequate definition of ‘life’ the fact that it refers\nto an unknown natural kind? If we try to make explicit what is implicit\nin our use of many religious words, can intuition-driven conceptual\nanalysis aid us in this endeavour? And to what extent can religious\npeople refer to the object of worship while being mistaken about its\ntrue nature? The author concludes that the meaning of religious and\nexistentially important terms can be recognition-transcendent and this\nin more than one sense.","brand":"Media-Tryck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32438150692964,"sku":"9789174737653","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/the-balance-of-meaning","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
