About: Ineffability

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Ineffability is the quality of something that surpasses the capacity of language to express it, often being in the form of a taboo or incomprehensible term. This property is commonly associated with philosophy, aspects of existence, and similar concepts that are inherently "too great", complex or abstract to be communicated adequately. Illogical statements, principles, reasons and arguments may be considered intrinsically ineffable along with impossibilities, contradictions and paradoxes.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • La inefabilitat és la propietat de determinades realitats de ser incomunicables, és a dir, allò que no pot transmetre's pel llenguatge. Es considera inefable: Allò que va més enllà dels límits del coneixement humà (com el noümen de Kant); els qualia o la natura subjectiva de la percepció; les emocions més intenses; experiències del misticisme; el dao; el nom i la natura de Déu segons el judaisme.

  • Ineffability is the quality of something that surpasses the capacity of language to express it, often being in the form of a taboo or incomprehensible term. This property is commonly associated with philosophy, aspects of existence, and similar concepts that are inherently "too great", complex or abstract to be communicated adequately. Illogical statements, principles, reasons and arguments may be considered intrinsically ineffable along with impossibilities, contradictions and paradoxes. Terminology describing the nature of experience cannot be conveyed properly in dualistic symbolic language; it is believed that this knowledge is only held by the individual from which it originates. Profanity and vulgarisms can easily and clearly be stated, but by those who believe they should not be said, they are considered ineffable. Thus, one method of describing something that is ineffable is by using apophasis, i.e. describing what it is not, rather than what it is. An example is the name of God in Judaism, written as YHWH but substituted with Adonai ("the Lord") or HaShem ("the name") when reading. (en)
  • L'ineffabilité, qui consiste à considérer que quelque chose est ineffable, signifie que cette chose ne peut pas ou ne doit pas, pour des raisons prédominantes, être exprimée avec des mots. Cette notion d’ineffabilité est généralement utilisée à propos d'un sentiment, un concept ou un aspect de l'existence qui est trop grand pour être décrit de façon adéquate par des mots, ou qui ne peut pas être intrinsèquement exprimé dans un langage humain dualiste symbolique, mais peut seulement être connu de manière interne par les individus.

  • A característica da inefabilidade está associada a qualquer tipo de objecto, entidade ou fenómeno sobre o qual nada pode ser dito em linguagem humana. Em geral, o termo "inefável" pode ser utilizado para caracterizar sensações, sentimentos, conceitos, aspectos da realidade ou entidades que, pela sua natureza ou grandeza, não podem, ou não devem, ser transmitidos ou descritos pela linguagem humana, embora possam ser conhecidos de forma interior pelos indivíduos. Nas Upanishads indianas, a realidade absoluta ou Brahman é considerada como impensável, ou seja, estaria além dos conceitos. (pt)
