Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines a fundamental aspect of human cognition, the use of language, exploring the nature of words we reason with, to better understand our indispensable tool for philosophical inquiry. The author argues that we mistake language for reality, which leads to errors. He suggests language use is a bold intellectual assumption because it cannot accurately or completely describe what we perceive. The text analyzes this leap, showing that abstract words like 'goodness' or 'movement' have no existence outside words themselves. He explains that these words are derived from concrete things or actions, and that when we use them, we are referring to the state of that thing or action. By dismantling abstract words, the author hopes to liberate human understanding from inconsistencies and highlight the importance of critical thinking.
