Oratio Obliqua (philosophy)

	Oratio Obliqua (philosophy) Oratio obliqua (or indirect speech) is a topic in modern philosophy, considered to be a variety of the wider topic of metarepresentation. In recent years it has been made prominent by the works especially of the French philosopher François Recanati François Recanati (born 1952) is a French analytic philosopher and research fellow at the College de France, and at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.

In fiction, the "utterance" might amount to an unvoiced thought that passes through a stream of consciousness, as reported by an omniscient narrator. In many languages, indirect discourse is expressed using a content clause or infinitival. When an instance of indirect discourse reports an earlier question, the embedded clause takes the form of an indirect question. In indirect speech, grammatical categories in the embedded clause often differ from those in the utterance it reports. For instance, the example above uses the third person pronoun "she" even though Jill's original utterance used the first person pronoun "I". In some languages, including English, t ...

In other words, it is the capacity to represent a representation. For example, a drawing is the representation of something and someone who looks at the drawing would represent it in his or her mind. Metarepresentation also allows to understand other's thoughts. Put simply, a person has thoughts in response to a statement and may interpret it in many ways. This forms many metarepresentations of the statement. Metarepresentation is also the ability to generate new knowledge or meaning through representing thoughts or concepts that are not noticed on a day-to-day basis. The ability to represent a representation of thoughts and concepts is the essence of reflection and higher-order thought. In this way, metarepresent ...
