Steven Pinker
“Radical Pragmatics – “words are fluid, and can mean different things in different circumstances. […] And what we draw upon in memory is not a lexicon of definitions but a network of associations among words and the kinds of events and actors they typically convey.”
Steven Pinker, The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature

“Conceptual historians of various stripes asked after the origins of ideas, but they sought them by tracing the changing meanings of words across different socio-historical contexts. My concern, by contrast, is with the practical origins of ideas: with the ways in which the ideas we live by can be shown to be rooted in practical needs and concerns generated by certain facts about us and our situation.”
Matthieu Queloz, The Practical Origins of Ideas: Genealogy as Conceptual Reverse-Engineering
