Un exemple remarquable de la pluralité des sens nous est fourni par l’interprétation des caractères idéographiques qui constituent l’écriture chinoise : toutes les significations dont ces caractères sont susceptibles peuvent se grouper autour de trois principales, qui correspondent aux trois degrés fondamentaux de la connaissance, et dont la première est d’ordre sensible, la seconde d’ordre rationnel, et la troisième d’ordre intellectuel pur ou métaphysique, ainsi, pour nous borner à un cas très simple, un même caractère pourra être employé analogiquement pour désigner à la fois le soleil, la lumière et la vérité, la nature du contexte permettant seule de reconnaître, pour chaque application, quelle est celle de ces acceptions qu’il convient d’adopter, d’où les multiples erreurs des traducteurs occidentaux. ↗
