The most interesting class

One time I took a metaphysics class in another language.

The language was Spanish; the setting was Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The professor didn’t mess around.

This day I walked into class I was inundated with a plethora of metaphysical topics I hadn’t even thought to consider before.

One metaphysical topic I’d like to write about is how language atomizes knowledge in one’s mind.

I learned metaphysics in Spanish. Thus, the language caused the knowledge to be stored in my mind in a different place than if I had learned these topics in English.

This is my hypothesis.

I think it is so because when I go to talk about the experiences I had in Argentina learning metaphysics in a foreign language, I often cannot recall them in English. I have to translate things in my mind.

Then I will sufficiently be able to explain them, but it takes a little work.
