I didn’t know about this word until recently. English seems to lack a word that encompasses this concept. Yet, it seems the concept itself is ever-present\u00a0and worth a word of its own.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Grenzbegriff<\/b> noun<\/i><\/b>.<\/b> [‘gr\u025bntsb\u01ddgr\u026af]\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[German: from <\/span>Grenze<\/i>\u00a0meaning limit<\/span>, boundary<\/span> + the\u00a0word\u00a0<\/span>Begriff<\/i>\u00a0meaning concept<\/span>.]<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In Kantian philosophy this is a concept that describes the limitation<\/em> of sense-experience. The word describes a \/ the concept of limitation and, in general, it describes one’s conception of an unattained ideal…just out of reach. <\/span><\/p>\n

Something real and yet undefinable because we see (perceive) but a shadow of it is described in grensbegriff<\/em>. This, which we cannot perceive is somewhere off the map away from what we experience with our senses. Maybe it is even more real than we are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s have class today. To what things could this word apply?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Love? Art? Hope? What else?<\/p>\n

(This means: in your opinion. Please don’t worry about “correctness”. This is just an exercise and I’d love to hear from you.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
