Summary on chapter-2
Clear thinking depends on a clear understanding of the words we use.Word confusion leads to less consciousness or disequilibrum,which can only be restored through word classification.The test of our understanding of a word is our ability to define it.This ability is particularly important for words representing key ideas that we wish to explain or defend.Taking the time to define the words we use is an essential preliminary to genuine communication.
