De dialectica
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"For since we can only talk about words with words and since in talking we always talk about things, it occurs to us that words are signs of things without ceasing to be things themselves (nam cum de verbis loqui nisi verbis nequeamus et cum loquimur nonnisi de aliquibus rebus loquamur, occurrit animo ita esse verba signa rerum, ut res esse non desinant)" Augustine, De dialectica, c.5 (cf. Barwick 1957:11) |
