Word: rhetorolect Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Latin rhētorica from Ancient Greek ῥήτωρ (rhḗtōr, “public speaker”) + from Latin lectus, form of Latin legō (“to read”). 1.

Word: Secondspace Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by E.W. Soja as second + space 1. Space as it is conceived, as opposed to space that is directly perceived. For example, the conception of a space based on a map or description. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Although there is an epistemology to the study of Firstspace, it is in Secondspace that epistemological discourse receives the greatest attention. In the long history of geographic thought, Secondspace approaches have been turned to most often when mainstream Firstspace approaches have become too rigidly materialist and "scientistic," as with the various critiques that emerged in response to the epistemological closures of positivist human geography. Example: Thus, “Wall Street” refers both to the street and to the businesses; metaphorically (and metaphor operates as a type of Secondspace) the name of the street has come to mean the type of investment activity.
Word: secondspace Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative form of Secondspace. Labels: alt-of, alternative, countable, uncountable Example: Conceived space, secondspace, also described as representations of space, is the domain in which the meanings or ways of imagining space are identified and discursively set 'via control over knowledge, signs and codes' (1 996, p 67). Example: Whereas Soja, looking at the history of spatial thinking, assigns secondspace epistemologies to the subjective imaginaries of the creative artist, the artful architect, the utopian urbanist and the philosophical geographer, among others, when turning to entrepreneurial cities one thinks of the 'urban spin-doctoring' figuring so prominently in the literature of urban entrepreneurialism.
Word: Firstspace Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by E.W. Soja as first + space 1. Space as it is directly perceived by the senses. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Although there is an epistemology to the study of Firstspace, it is in Secondspace that epistemological discourse receives the greatest attention. In the long history of geographic thought, Secondspace approaches have been turned to most often when mainstream Firstspace approaches have become too rigidly materialist and "scientistic," as with the various critiques that emerged in response to the epistemological closures of positivist human geography. Example: For scholars of the ancient world, access to Firstspace is almost non-existent.
Word: firstspace Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative form of Firstspace. Labels: alt-of, alternative, countable, uncountable Example: In thinking the countryside into Soja's trialectics of spatiality it is possible to undersand the countryside in firstspace or perceived space terms. It has a materiality and 'realness' that is, while evolving and shifting, nevertheless concrete and mappable. Example: In other words, we have marginalized 'counterspaces', resisting dominant (firstspace or secondspace) orders - thirdspace, the space of radical openness, of creativity, of activism, of social struggle (Soja, 1996).
Word: Thirdspace Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by E.W. Soja as third + space 1. Space as both a perceived and conceptualized phenomenon, both a physical locality and its meaning. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Over the past decade, the most creative explorations of Thirdspace, and hence the most accomplished expansions in the scope of the geographical imagination, have come from the broadly defined field of critical cultural studies. Example: The Occupy movement existed as a Thirdspace phenomenon -- even though its practitioners created their own Firstspace configurations of objects and their own Secondspace meanings and representations.
Word: thirdspace Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative form of Thirdspace.

Word: wisdom of Silenus Part of Speech: noun 1. The idea that it is wisest for humans to have never been born, and having been born, it is wisest that they die soon. Labels: uncountable Example: 1869 AD, Friedrich Nietzsche The Birth of Tragedy "There is an old legend that king Midas for a long time hunted the wise Silenus, the companion of Dionysus, in the forests, without catching him. When Silenus finally fell into the king’s hands, the king asked what was the best thing of all for men, the very finest. The daemon remained silent, motionless and inflexible, until, compelled by the king, he finally broke out into shrill laughter and said these words, “Suffering creature, born for a day, child of accident and toil, why are you forcing me to say what would give you the greatest pleasure not to hear? The very best thing for you is totally unreachable: not to have been born, not to exist, to be nothing. The second best thing for you, however, is this — to die soon.” What is the relationship between the Olympian world of the gods and this popular wisdom? It is like the relationship of the entrancing vision of the tortured martyr to his torments. Now, as it were, the Olympic magic mountain reveals itself and shows us its roots. The Greek knew and felt the terror and horrors of existence: in order to be able to live at all, he must have placed in front of him the gleaming dream birth of the Olympians...In this way, the gods justify the lives of men, because they themselves live it — that is the only satisfactory theodicy! Existence under the bright sunshine of such gods is experienced as worth striving for in itself, and the essential pain of the Homeric men refers to separation from that sunlight, above all in the fact that such separation is coming soon, so that people could now say of them, with a reversal of the wisdom of Silenus, “The very worst thing for them was to die soon; the second worst was to die at all.” When the laments resound now, they tell once more of short-lived Achilles, of the changes in the race of men, transformed like leaves, of the destruction of the heroic age. It is not unworthy of the greatest hero to long to live on, even as a day labourer. Thus, in the Apollonian stage, the “Will” spontaneously demands to keep on living, the Homeric man feels himself so at one with living, that even his lament becomes a song of praise."

Labels: not-comparable Example: Kurt Gödel is reported to have remarked ‘‘There never were any set-theoretic paradoxes, but the property-theoretic paradoxes are still unresolved.’’ The idea behind the ﬁrst part of his remark is presumably that the notion of set was hierarchical from the start, so that it should have been obvious all along that there was no Russell set (in the mathematical sense of ‘set’). The idea behind the second part is that this obvious resolution of Russell’s ‘‘paradox’’ for sets simply doesn’t carry over to the paradox for properties.
