Can something exist when it isn't recognised?
what I mean to say is, if a word, or perhaps
the power for elucidation isn't there, can
emotions or whole experiences or a way of
understanding simply 'not exist' ?
As so much of our world revolves about our
personal and private lives and those of our
collegues and loved ones, out and on towards
those we have have never even met and never
likely to and, sooner or later, the realistic
imitations by online sevices, are we at risk of
placing far too much relevence in text book
evaluations ?
An article (12-27-2007 Times) describes the
absurd difference between a communities
understanding (or the English lack of it!)

Yes it is. If you see it, think of it, feel it or do it
then it's all in the mind. What more need be said and/or
thought?

Do you mean that the world is represented in your mind and what it
represents is there also?
Representationalism is the philosophical position that the world we
see in conscious experience is not the real world itself, but merely a
miniature virtual-reality replica of that world in an internal
representation. Representationalism is also known (in psychology) as
Indirect Perception, and (in philosophy) as Indirect Realism, or
Epistemological Dualism.

Let's approach this from another angle. A way of experiencing a 'thing' 'in
our mind', but outside of language does exist. There are certain human
'felt' experiences that are not known to the brain's language areas . A
class of such experiences invoke a certain emotion; we might call it
ineffable. So we have is a word to describe the indescribable, but the word
cannot elucidate.
