From the words we use, to express them.But others say ideas are eternal, and pre date their expression.

Obe, the ideas have to come before the words. A light gone on in the brain in conjunction with what we see and feel and then the expression of them.

  Arc, so ideas are not mere definitions, but evolutionary dynamic meta meanings? Inasmuch as we have evolved from animals, our understanding is grounded on these meta meanings based on non 

verbalized , or partially conceptualized fragments?

The above has a mistake: I wish to delete the phrase, ’ we have evolved from animals,’ since there is a sense of uncertainty about that notion. I could not edit because i am having computer trouble.

That was somehow so funny to me. lol I don’t think there is any uncertainty about it - we haven’t as of yet evolved from the animals. Can’t you see that in our behavior. Aside from that, we are still human animals. Don’t force me to give up my tail, obe.

In addition to that, You are right. There is an article from the archives, of the Harvard Gazette, an i will paraphrase it summarily:

"Elizabeth Spelke, prof. of psychology, did 

experments showing that contrary to what many scholars believed, children begin to think
independently about objects, before they learn

language."
