what is the meaning of 'is'?

Question

"tell me what the meaning of 'is' is"
that would be Clinton

Answer 1

It means you can break the law and get away with it if the media 'loves you'.

Answer 2

perhaps the answer may follow the logic that "a lie is as good as the truth as long as you can find someone to believe it"

"is" used to be "positional" and could be found somewhere between "was" and "will be";

for example: an insect that jumps from one end of a horseshoe to the other instead of walking the conventional route between the two ends must be somewhere in the space that lies in between;

perhaps, then, with the insect, it isn't important where the critter "is" as long as the critter has the confidence to be able to land after taking off;

perhaps the same could be said for clinton and how he views "is" --- just a moment in time between "was" and "will be"'

Answer 6

"Is" could be used predicatively ("Socrates is wise") or it can posit identity ("Willie is the President of the United States"). There are other times when "is" simply IS existential, as in "There IS a God after all." But maybe Parmenides said it best when he argues that "is is." That "is" all for now.

Answer 7

Is = the present verb of to be. To Exist
Existance is your presence. " I think therefore I am" ... We Acknowledge our presence by our ability to recognize it. We ARE. Are is the plural form of AM. Am is the present form of IS.

Maybe that's complicated, maybe it doesn't make sense... made sense to me

Is = to be or existence

Answer 9

It is the present perfect tense of the verb "to be".
