A Lot of Interesting Things Can Be Learned…

A lot of interesting things can be learned from these modern linguistic studies, on which much of today’s philosophy is based. The problem is that, after a few dozen pages we feel strangely like we’re sailing far, far away from reality, already at a point where we cannot establish any connection with it. And so, if we take on board the argument under consideration, we get ourselves into an awful mess. The mistake is all too obvious: these authors, consciously or not, have swapped experience for language, as if the two were interchangeable, as if the former were dispensable. It is a simple mistake, but once it is made, it is very difficult to get around.
