The Word for Blue

from Distillations | Science History Institute

היה לנו כבר פרק על כחול אבל מסתבר שזה צבע שאנחנו ממש לא רגועים לגביו. הפעם הפרק על האטימולוגיה של המילה. העובדה היא שהמילה כחול הופיעה יחסית מאוחר ברוב השפות ונעשתה הרבה חשיבה על מה הסיבה לכך. בהתחלה הניחו שהייתה בעיה פיזיולוגית של אנשים לראות את הצבע בתור צבע שונה מירוק. אבל הסתבר שזה לא בעיה של העין אלא בעיה של השפה. פרק מאוד מעניין על ההתפתחות של תאוריה ועל ההתפתחות שלהשפה.#שפה #אנגלית #צבע Distillations - The Word for Blueמשך: 39 דק' https://pca.st/55x2wveg#######In his epic poem, The Odyssey, Homer mentions the colors black, white, red, and yellow. But despite numerous mentions of the brilliant Greek sea and sky, the word blue never makes an appearance.  This omission set off a debate between perception and language that would repeat itself over and over again throughout history: was there something wrong with the ancient Greek’s eyes? If they didn’t name blue, did that mean they couldn’t see it? We treat color like it's a clear measure of whether or not our brains are working the same. We expect an answer we can all agree on. Only it turns out some colors elude us. So when it comes to blue, are we truly seeing things differently or just seeing the same thing and describing it differently?

Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”).
