Sprache, über die sich nachzudenken lohnt

Der Philosoph Georg Toepfer über Wörter und ihre tieferliegenden Inhalte 

"Troika", "Rettungsschirm", "sozial" oder "Alternative": Das sind Begriffe, die uns allen bekannt sind. Insbesondere wer die Berichterstattung der Medien verfolgt, hört sie immer wieder. Aber was heißt bekannt? Kennen wir die Begriffe wirklich? Der Philosoph Georg Toepfer hat in dem vor kurzem veröffentlichten Buch "Wörter aus der Fremde: Begriffsgeschichte als Übersetzungsgeschichte" gemeinsam mit anderen Autoren bekannte Begriffe im Hinblick auf deren Geschichte und Bedeutung beleuchtet. Im Interview mit Telepolis erklärt Toepfer, was es bedeutet, sich mit der Übersetzungsgeschichte von Begriffen auseinanderzusetzen und greift exemplarisch Wörter auf, über die es sich lohnt, genauer nachzudenken.

UC Berkeley Professor George Lakoff discusses concepts from his new book, The Political Mind: Why You Can't Understand 21st-Century American Politics with an 18th-Century Brain.
George P. Lakoff is a professor of linguistics (in particular, cognitive linguistics) at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has taught since 1972.
Although some of his research involves questions traditionally pursued by linguists, such as the conditions under which a certain linguistic construction is grammatically viable, he is most famous for his ideas about the centrality of metaphor to human thinking, political behavior and society.
He is particularly famous for his concept of the "embodied mind" which he has written about in relation to mathematics. In recent years he has applied his work to the realm of politics, and founded a progressive think tank, the Rockridge Institute.
Joe Epstein is the former President of The Commonwealth Club's Board of Governors.
