lingua obscura

observation logbook: observation #3452, Vienna.

I like made-up words.
And who doesn't?
Philosophers win the prize, though, hands down.  Here's a sample of some buzzing past my ears ... A concept for every occasion:

truth as conformation
ratifying knowledge
holistic conventionalism
method of coincidences
discursive interactions
norms of critical contextual empiricism
synthetic a priori
N-dimensional manifolds
measured realism
naive empiricism
underdetermination
constituitive of the concept of the object
communicative rationality
inter-paradigmatic conceptual limbo
sensualist positivism
