Exploring the complexities of language, the book delves into why philosophers find it particularly challenging to comprehend. It critiques traditional methods like philosophical analysis and translation, advocating instead for a focus on the practical use of language as essential to understanding meaning. Bernhard Weiss's investigation seeks to illuminate the philosophical aspects of language, proposing a new framework for semantic theorizing that prioritizes context and usage over rigid definitions.
