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.



"The limits of my language means the limits of my world."

Is what this subthread is about.

Perhaps you should read what the people you are replying to are commenting on. Then you’ll understand the context.


I am reading it and I am replying to it. Perhaps you should let people themselves comment rather than pretend you are the judge.


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.


You’re going to pretend that this thread of the conversation doesn’t stem from that statement when it is plain to see?

Magnificent philosophy.
