“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

“A society that doesn’t understand the meaning of words will not recognize the theft of meaning.”
Adeel Ahmed Khan
