There's more than one way to communicate

Maintaining the theme YouTube - Ashes and Snow- Feather to Fire
Numerous interpretations, all of wonder

I agree. Therefore the accusation of logocentrism. Some philosophers have recognized the superiority of music, for instance, for representing certain aspects of experience.

Great idea for a thread. I sometimes rely on Youtube to achieve a deeper understanding about other cultures, people and ideas than words could possibly convey.

PF's "Catchebula" first linked to the below video, but I think it deserves a repeat play in this thread.

Hint: hit the title at the top of the link to see the video on Youtube. It benefits greatly from the larger screen.

Since the image has fine detail, for maximum appreciation, when you get to Youtube, at the bottom of the video increase 360p up to 480 p. Then go to giant screen (4-cornered box at the bottom right corner of the Youtube video).

Just hearing this....and seeing the images is so thought provoking

YouTube - Louis Armstrong - Hello, Dolly!

That's not just by accident, though. Words are coming at us all the time, and its healthy to reflect on what they mean, or rather it is unhealthy not to.

Has anyone here read David Abram's The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World (1997)? I haven't; it's just a book I've been thinking I should read.

I agree that words certainly deserve their PLACE in philosophy. But one need only look around to see that art & song & story are coming at us JUST as often, if not MORE.
