Yes. I actually make a distinction between real ideas, such as "truth", "beauty", etc., and those that are created by humans, "feminism", "masculinism" :), etc.
The dictionary is language that refers to itself synonymously and uses different terms to describe one and the same figure.
Yes, and what surprises me is that if you look up a word in the dictionary, you have to already know its meaning so that you can learn it. That is, if you look up the word "chair", and the definition is "seat with backrest", you can only know the meaning of "chair" if you already know beforehand the meaning of "seat with backrest". So with the dictionary you end up not learning the meaning of something, since you already had to know it, but only its "name".
Philosophy and its great thinkers - I agree with you one hundred percent - is better to be understood as an act of dialogue. Within which the involved ones try to near themselves towards a certain matter which actually matters most between the two of them right then and there.
Indeed, it is primarily an act of dialogue. I agree.
