  4. Problems of Communicating the Thoughts How do I transfer my thoughts to others? Not like a hard disk to another. Not like one water tank to another. Not like a book from one shelf to another.

  5. Thoughts are not perceivable We use sensory organs to perceive objects, events, facts of the world. We use mind to imagine the things. We use memory to remember. We use our Reason to Comprehend thoughts.

  6. Problem of Other Minds How Can I know the thoughts of others? How am I sure that what I understand is not mis-understanding? How do I verify whether what I have understood is the one what the speaker spoke about?

  7. Mind is Ever Creative Our perception is coloured or modified by our past experiences. By our future expectations By our present conditions of our Mind, Senses.

  8. Meaning and Interpretation Language is symbolic. It needs to be interpreted. How do I know that what I understand is the correct interpretation?

  9. Issues of Meaning What is meaning? Is the thought contained in the sentence the meaning? Is the effect on a person the meaning? Is it the idea that is generated the meaning? Is fact the meaning of a sentence?

  10. Intended and un-intended Messages Every message has a meta-message. Every message presupposes something and has a consequence in a logical sense. Can we separate message from meta-message?

  11. Intention Can never be Known. • Do I know my own intention? • How do you know that you had certain intention in the past? • Are you sure that you know what you want?
