The Logos Structure of the World: Language as a Model of Reality (Anomalies S.) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The aim of this book is to show that the world, including human beings and their consciousness, is not originally a world of thing but a world of words; that fundamentally the world has the structure of a text; and that it is therefore possible to read it like a test (Georg K hlewind). To realize this goal one must keep in mind three different approaches, or disciplines: epistemology, psychology, and linguistics. These are united by the phenomenology - "empiricism of consciousness" - used by the author, who always speaks from and toward experience. This is no ordinary text. It is a guide to philosophical experience - to the experience of cognition itself.

The author writes: "The aim of this book is to show that the world, including human beings and their consciousness, is not originally a world of things but a world of words; that fundamentally the world has the structure of a text; and that it is therefore possible to read it like a text."

In order to carry out this aim, three different approaches or disciplines must be continuously kept in mind: epistemology, psychology, and linguistics. What unites these is the phenomenology or "empiricism of consciousness" employed by the author, who always speaks out of, and toward, experience. This is no ordinary philosophical text, but a guide to the experience of cognition itself.
