Thus, through the meaning enabled by language, things become sensible both in and beyond their context.8 This thing or that thing is no longer limited to being what it is here and now, in immediate terms. As Dewey illustrates above, language also allows things to be understood in terms of their potential; that is, in terms of the possibilities they present. We can see what a certain thing might enable us or someone else to do. As Dewey puts it

Meanings are rules for using and interpreting things; interpretation always being an imputation of potentiality for some consequence. (LW 1, p. 147)
