Steven Pinker Quotes

So Just As Spatial Language Does Not Invoke An Empty Coordinate System, Temporal Language Does Not Invoke A Free-running Clock. Space Is Reckoned With Reference To Objects As They Are Conceived By Humans, Including The Uses To Which They Are Put, And Time Is Reckoned With Respect To Actions As They Are Conceived By Humans, Including Their Abilities And Intentions. As Central As Space And Time Are To Our Language And Thought, A Conscious Appreciation Of Them As Universal Media Into Which Our Experiences Are Fitted Is A Refined Accomplishment Of The Science And Mathematics Of The Early Modern Period.
