Love

[Cain]

No, but I forgot what the branch of philosophy that thought all problems were based in language were called.  If they weren't Log. Pos. then they were close ot it.

Love is General Semantics.

That wasn't the exact system I was thinking of, but it will do.

Love bears a striking resemblance to that e-prime crap?

Only insofar as I dont understand either, perhaps.

Semiotics?

Please! I must guess the correct answer! I must solve this rddle! I must have your approval!

I honestly cant remember.  I thought it was Logical Positivism, but apparently it isn't.  It was one of the philosophies related to it though, built upon Wittgenstein's theories and so on.

I think most of the worlds conflics and problems are based in bad communications which is based upon misunderstanding of the others languaculture. NOT Log. Positism, but I would like to know what that branch is called.

i once read an awesome book about this subject called Language and the Pursuit of Truth [zipped txt] again, i didn't get all the way through the end, but the first few chapters are quite interesting (words as signs, arguing about the meaning of a word instead of the actual statement being made, etc)

Love seems to be an empathic attachment to an object or person, where any hurt, damage, or injury that occurs to one causes mental and emotional pain to the other.

And, in a lesser sense, the same with pleasure.
