Abstract

Glenberg's conception of “meaning from and for action” is too narrow. For example, it provides no satisfactory account of the “logic of Elfland,” a metaphor used by Chesterton to refer to meaning acquired by being told something.

All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forget.

G. K. Chesterton (in Gardner 1994, p. 101)
