The Philosophical Lexicon

The Philosophical Lexicon

Daniel C. Dennett
0/5 ( ratings)
The Philosophical Lexicon is a humorous dictionary founded by philosopher Daniel Dennett and now edited by Asbjørn Steglich-Petersen. It lists neologisms that have been humorously coined from the names of contemporary philosophers. For example, the following definition refers to the philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine:

quine, v. To deny resolutely the existence or importance of something real or significant. "Some philosophers have quined classes, and some have even quined physical objects." Occasionally used intr., e.g., "You think I quine, sir. I assure you I do not!" n. The total aggregate sensory surface of the world; hence quinitis, irritation of the equine.
