World, Thought and Language in Aristotle

Aristotle’s thoughts on a language's grammar may be found in Poetics, from which

the language of poetry and art is discussed by in this chapter by Aristotle himself, who
claims that language is a manifestation of logos, which is man's ability as a rational animal.
The identities of the people who were identified attracted Aristotle's attention. Aristotle
looked at the notion of words being the subject or predicate of a proposition in his book
Categories. People can grasp 10 different sorts of things, according to him.

Substance, quality, quantity, relation, place, time, position, state, action, and
affection are some of the terms that come to mind. The hierarchical structure of knowledge
items is shown through categories. The connection between the tiers of this hierarchy is a
genus-species link. The concepts of 'genus and species' are intertwined with the notions of
'intention and expansion.' Noun, verb, affirmation, negation, proposition, and speech were
all defined by Aristotle. On their own, nouns and verbs have no truth value. There is an
affirmation or denial when the pieces of a phrase are united, yet they are significant on their
own. According to Aristotle, there is a denial for every affirmation. Subcontraries exist
between assertions like "all men are mortal" and "Socrates is not mortal." He was neither a
believer in the validity of words or in Plato's notion of ideas.

Aristotle claimed in On Interpretation that mental representations are represented by

symbols in speech. These representations are based on a commonality rather than a
symbolism of the phenomenal world. The mind serves as an intermediate between language
and the world, and the mind is a bridge between the two.

Permit me to focus on and link the mind as a means for language and the world to
coexist, in the hope that we would be able to experience or possess the divine condition or
quality through Jesus' humanity. As a result, we can see that Jesus' humanity has now
become a bridge for God to be with us; Jesus has become a channel and a means for us to
get closer to God and become holy. God decided to come down from Heaven and send His
Son Incarnate to us in order for us to repent of our sins and be restored with Him because of
His humility.

As a result, there are no disparities between language and the world; there are no
differences between them. They complement each other through the mind, rather than the
physical. This is also true of Jesus' humanity and divinity, for Jesus' humanity never limits
His divinity, and His divinity never overwhelms, destroys, or sublimates His humanity; they
are always in perfect harmony and communion, and they never conflict.
