Is the expression That-to-which-words-cannot-refer an oxymoron?

 

Also, when using a term like 'Self', does that necessarily

entail a concept?

 

To what does a term like 'Self' refer?

It's a paradox.

 

Like saying ' " yes/no " with no separation between.'

I like the term " No-Self/Self " myself.

It refers to a bias against the term 'Other.'

 

It should be replaced with the term " Self/Other. "

 

Or, one could make sure to alternate " Self " and " Other " every time the

concept is employed.

Oops, did you rewrite this and forget to erase your second signature?

 

Or are you, like Toomey, portraying your two minds?
