The second you start claiming things about how the world is through language I can access that and analyze it through ex. a postmodern lens.
You can certainly experience all sorts of things that is beyond language to express but then they are that personal experiences and highly subjective.
What Objective truth can be expressed through language? If you knew the answer to that one you would win a Nobel price and I would certainly do whatever in my power to make sure you got it cause that would be a big deal and fundamentally change EVERYTHING.
Which is why no one has taken me up on the offer to formulate such a truth. It's simply not a useful way to think about what language expresses.
I know you aren’t sure what my point is. That’s because you think your world is limited by language.
And now you’re suddenly focussed on ‘objective truth’. Moving the goalposts because it’s obvious that truth can be expressed through means other than language.
Why not just admit that language is limited but it’s not the limit of our world, or our expression? Why is that so hard?
No its not limited by that, philosphy is. Perhaps you should read a little up on postmodern theory then you would better understand the context this is debated within. You can imagine what you want that has nothing to do with what we are debating here.
I clarified the context because you decided to declare what the context was. Perhaps you’ve forgotten that. The advice about pretending to be the judge of the context seems like something you might have wanted to consider for yourself.
If you’re replying to the comment I quoted, then my points clearly stand. Language is not the limit of anyone’s world unless they decide to limit themselves that way.
And I repeat that you continue to miss the point of philosophy and are confusing means of expression with means of claiming. It has nothing to do with whether language is the limit of anyone's world we are talking about philosophy here that's the context that's what I was responding to before you started this useless diatribe. Have a great Saturday.
