I see that I am not the only one disturbed by the Foreign Secretary's little display of robust support of human rights. There is an excellent piece by Dan Dolan in today's Guardian. He is director of policy and advocacy at Reprieve, a legal charity that works against grave human rights abuses. It is well worth a read.
What actually occurs in our minds when we use language with the intention of meaning something by it? What is the relation subsisting between thoughts, words, or sentences, and that which they refer to or mean? What relation must one fact (such as a sentence) have to another in order to be capable of being a symbol for that other? Using sentences so as to convey truth rather than falsehood?
