Responding to Overnaming in Academia

October 7, 2016 by Matthew Boedy Leave a Comment

Today, Matthew Boedy wraps up his four part series on overnaming. See Post 1 here, Post 2 here, and Post 3 here. For other work by Matthew at the ESN blog, including a series on the academic job search, click here.   In this four-part series, I have tried to think about one particular aspect of language: naming.

A Response to Overnaming

September 30, 2016 by Matthew Boedy 2 Comments

In this four-part series, I aim to think about one particular aspect of language: naming. In the introduction, I preliminarily addressed the root of the problem, the Fall. In the second post, I argued the “knowledge of good and evil” we gained at the Fall became the way we separate ourselves from God. We never gained this knowledge as if it was information about good and evil. We instead changed our relationship with naming. Here I want to begin to think through a general response. In the fourth, we will tackle … [Read more...] about A Response to Overnaming
