Essay by Mortimer J. Adler at Self-educated American.
"In the vocabulary of daily speech, the word 'idea' is generally used to name the subjective contents of our own minds — things that each of us has in his or her own mind. ...
"But that, obviously, is not the way the word 'idea' is being used when we engage one another in the discussion of ideas. In order for a discussion between two or more persons to occur, they must be engaged in talking to one another about something that is a common object of their conjoined apprehension."
