Ancient Philosophy on Meaning - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 436 Meaning/Ancient Philosophy/Gadamer: The struggle of philosophy and rhetoric for Greek youth education, which was decided with the victory of Attic philosophy, also has this side, that thinking about language becomes a matter of grammar and rhetoric, which have always recognized the ideal of scientific concept formation. Thus the sphere of linguistic meaning begins to detach itself from the things encountered in linguistic formation. The Gadamer I 437 stoic logic speaks first of those incorporeal meanings by which the speaking of things takes place (to lekton). >Language and thought/Ancient philosophy. Topos: It is highly significant that these meanings are put on the same level as topos, i.e. space:(1). Just as empty space only now, in thinking away the things that arrange themselves to each other in it, comes to the condition for thinking(2), so also the "meanings" as such are only now thought for themselves and a term is coined for them by thinking away the things mentioned by means of the meaning of the words. The meanings are also like a space in which things are ordered to each other. Such thoughts apparently only become possible when the natural relationship, i.e. the intimate unity of speaking and thinking, is disturbed.
