that the structure of the
human mind leads all
humans to think in terms
of binary opposition, or
simply stated, the
contrasts between two
opposite things.
- He believed that the way we
understand certain words
depends not so much on any
meaning they themselves directly
contain, but much more by our
understanding of the difference
between the word and its
'opposite' or, as he called it
'binary opposites'.
