Excerpt from Object-Teaching, or Words and Things
The word then, briefly to resume its uses, aids us to analyse an object into its component parts. We look at a dog and see it sometimes running, sometimes sleep ing, sometimes black, but in every differ ent case we see the dog as a whole. Our eyes do not divide for us the thing dog, and the action running. It is by use of the word dog that we are able to separate in thought the object dog from its various properties and activities. The more searching and varied our observations, and the more we increase our knowledge of these properties of an object, the richer becomes the significance of the word, and the more refined and definite becomes our knowledge of the thing.
