"When we name things correctly, we comprehend them……" — Epictetus

When we name things correctly, we comprehend them correctly, without adding information… - Epictetus
"When we name things correctly, we comprehend them correctly, without adding information or judgements that aren't there. Does someone bathe quickly? Don't say be bathes poorly, but quickly. Name the situation as it is, don't filter it through your judgments. Give your assent only to that which is actually true."
