Given that our language is rule-governed and community based, its complex norms the stuff of learning to speak, how is it anyone ever says anything that is both meaningful and new? How do we say new things?
Given that the elements of every individual’s character are shared by large numbers of other individuals, that people are not in fact snowflakes, how is meaningful individuation possible? How do we be new things?
If meaning can be generated within a language, and personal identity can be generated in, through and by living a human life, might not these processes, or sets of processes, be related or similar? How so?
