In this episode, we consider the 2016 film 'Arrival', directed Denis Villeneuve and starring Amy Adams. Our discussion explores what the film reveals about the nature of language by examining the contemporary philosophical debate between 'designative-instrumental' and 'expressive-constitutive' theories of language. It also highlights Aristotle's stance against implementing a particular method of study prior to familiarising oneself with the topic of that study and concludes by analysing the manner in which linguistic experience offers us a different understanding of time than that of perceptual experience. These reflections are accompanied by a couple of beers from Beavertown Brewery and 9 White Deer Brewery.
