The Indefinability of Language
Meaning, Use, and Self-Inquiry
Paperback EN 2025 1e druk 9789403858807Samenvatting
This book explores how meaning emerges in use and how the “I” takes shape within language games in the broadest sense. Proceeding from the impossibility of a context-independent metalevel, it brings philosophical reflection into dialogue with insights from science—from space and time to evolution and neuroscience. In this way, a coherent perspective unfolds in which language, knowledge, and subjectivity are not grounded outside their practice, but understood within it.
This book does not begin with a theory, but with an experience: that meaning reveals itself only in use, and that every definition already speaks before it explains. From this realization, it became impossible to continue believing in a place outside language from which the “I”—or language itself—could be grounded.
