Springer - Erkenntnis und Dialektik - Philosophy of Language

Explore the deep connection between language and consciousness in Erkenntnis und Dialektik. Published by Springer, this collection of essays from 1949 to 1971 offers a profound introduction to a philosophy rooted in language. The work examines how language serves as more than a technical or mathematical tool; it is the very condition that allows for logical processes to exist. This text moves through the stages of substance, function, reflection, and concept. Unlike other philosophical frameworks, such as those of Ernst Cassirer, this approach does not replace the concept of substance with function. Instead, substance, function, and reflection are presented as essential moments within the logical concept. For students and scholars of epistemology and philosophy, this book provides a rigorous examination of how thought and being are structured through linguistic frameworks.
