 Peter Winch, among others, further argues that it is hard or impossible to try to adopt another culture’s way of carving up the world without somehow taking that culture on board in a holistic way, because it is hard or impossible to characterize particular bits of behavior in isolation (Winch 1958). To make sense of what a medieval knight means by praying (or praying*), for example, I might need to connect this with other concepts (perhaps such as honor, or duty, or salvation) that again might be quite different than my own. The result might then be that one gradually acquires what Alasdair MacIntyre calls a “second first language”, as one’s grasp of the relationships between different concepts and their applications increases (MacIntyre 1988: ch. 19).
