Right ...Hey, good to see what you are really about. <BR/><BR/>Right now I am on to two topics. The first is stoicheia in Aristotle and Plato and whether it is letters or phonemes, and extractable or abstractables. So, then what does <I>otiot</I> (letters) mean in Sefer Yetzirah, letters or phonemes. <BR/><BR/>Then, the other is "tongue" <I>lashon</I> in Sefer Yetzirah. Obviously one of the copyists who added material to Sefer Yetzirah considered it a phallic symbol, that is clear. So is this because language <I>lashon</I> (tongue) is generative, like the phallus. Is this why some thought that God used language (the tongue) to make the world, because of its generative capacity? <BR/><BR/>So I am struggling with some Greek and some Hebrew, and since it is only a term paper I don't really have time to reread every reference in Plato and Aristotle to stoicheia and logos. <BR/><BR/>BTW, this is a language study, not a gender study, the phallic symbol just jumped off the page at me. Hey, I said, what are you doing here, I am trying to escape from writing about gender and want to write about language. No such thing, he said, as language without gender. <BR/><BR/>Fun, eh?Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492732201892249157noreply@blogger.com
