[MD] perceptions

[MarshaV]

Marsha:
Though, I wonder why you put perceptions (sensual experience) in with concepts (linguistic experience) and assign them both as intellectualizing.  I thought you associated intellectualizing with language.  Perception (sensual experience) does not require language.  imho.

The differentiating doesn't disappear with language.  The differentiating is there with perceiving too.

The names, the shapes and forms we give Quality depend only partly on the Quality. They also depend partly on the a priori images we have accumulated in our memory. We constantly seek to find, in the Quality event, analogues to our previous experiences. If we didn't we'd be unable to act. We build up our language in terms of these analogues."
