http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/cam032/99032284.pdfTrying to explain away the limits that Chinese language placed upon its thinkers. I only studied a little chinese, and only one year of chinese history, and it was a very long time ago. But it is very hard to listen to even second generation immigrants speak and not grasp the very great difference between the precision of the english (or even ancient greek) language, and Chinese.

We are all prisoners of our languages.
