Language & Meaning: Crash Course Philosophy #26

Today we start our unit on language with a discussion of meaning and how we assign and understand meaning. We’ll cover sense and reference, beetles in boxes, and language games. We’re also getting into the meaning-making game ourselves: bananas are now chom-choms. Pass it on. -- Image Credits: Chutes & Ladders by Ben Hussman https://www.flickr.com/photos/benhusmann/3120095949 Wizard School © DFTBA Games All other images and video via ThinkStock or VideoBlocks either public domain or via VideoBlocks, or Wikimedia Commons, licensed under Creative Commons BY 4.0: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ -- Produced in collaboration with PBS Digital Studios: http://youtube.com/pbsdigitalstudios -- Want to find Crash Course elsewhere on the internet?
