May 29, 2020 at 22:02 | comment | added | brilliant | Thank you. But can you, please, edit the second example in your answer? I really want to see how it will look like with the meaning for the word "normal" in it being "occurring naturally" instead of "frequently found in Asia". Also, would you, please, explain to me what "P1", "P2", "E" and "C" stand for? | |
May 29, 2020 at 15:08 | comment | added | J D | @brilliant It's good practice when critical thinking to look at dictionaries to probe for contradictions and equivocations in one's thoughts. The linguistic turn is an important moment in the history of philosopy, and understanding language and how it is used clears up a lot of philosophical quandries. | |
May 28, 2020 at 15:11 | comment | added | brilliant | Before I read this link I didn't even realize that "normal" had so many meanings. So, is it possible to readjust your answer now for the "occurring naturally" meaning in the second example? | |
May 28, 2020 at 14:40 | comment | added | J D | @brilliant Normal has no less than 8 meanings. As you didn't specify, I just selected the probabilistically oriented definition. It seems you meant definition 2, "occuring naturally", so I apologize for disambiguating your meaning incorrectly. | |
May 28, 2020 at 11:51 | comment | added | brilliant | I am a little bit puzzled over why you needed to add "say in Asia" and "Among a mixed group of Asians and Caucasians". It looks like you have changed my second example. My original thought in the statement "Being an Asian is normal" was not limited to some geographical region. In other words, it meant that if one was born Asian into this world - regardless of what continent, region or country - it is just natural, that is, there is nothing wrong with that. | |
