- In The Balance of Meaning Thord Svensson investigates how to possibly
make sense of a recognition-transcendent meaning of religious and
existentially important words. That is, can the semantic meaning of
words like ‘life’, ‘God’, ‘knowledge’ or ‘justice’ extend beyond what
their competent user recognize it to be? In the course of exploring this
matter several important questions are addressed: Is the reason for our
failure to present an adequate definition of ‘life’ the fact that it refers
to an unknown natural kind? If we try to make explicit what is implicit
in our use of many religious words, can intuition-driven conceptual
analysis aid us in this endeavour? And to what extent can religious
people refer to the object of worship while being mistaken about its
true nature? The author concludes that the meaning of religious and
existentially important terms can be recognition-transcendent and this
in more than one sense.
