Meaning
Human beings act toward things on the basis of the meanings that things have for them
These meanings are a product of social interaction in society.
These meanings are modified through a process of interpretation, which each individual deploys when dealing with the things that s/he encounters.
George H. Mead.
Mind, Self and Society (1934).
The Philosophy of the Act (1938).
Meaning is in the mind of the beholderMeaning
