Exploring the concept of ultimate presuppositions, the essays in this collection delve into a significant dichotomy in twentieth-century philosophical thought. R. G. Collingwood's insights reveal that these presuppositions often remain unexamined until later reflection. The central inquiry revolves around whether language, specifically colloquial language, is universal and inescapable. This theme highlights the implicit assumptions underlying philosophical arguments, suggesting that different thinkers may overlook alternative perspectives while addressing this fundamental question.
