Description
Arley Ramos Moreno, a pioneering Brazilian philosopher, makes an important contribution to current discussions around meaning, knowledge and symbolism in the first English translation of his work.
Connecting philosophy of language, linguistics, semiotics and phenomenology, Moreno builds on the legacy of Wittgenstein. His focus is on the ways of producing meaning that involve the circumstances of the enunciation and applications of words. He explores interlocutions, the different techniques for assigning names to things and the forms of ties between words and techniques that allow us to engage with diverse objects, from emotions and attitudes to physical and abstract entities.
Extending Wittgenstein's therapeutic philosophy and representing a significant step towards integrating the Kantian transcendental into the pragmatic domain, this ambitious project is edited by a team of scholars who worked closely with Moreno. They bring to light Moreno's ability to enrich our understanding of the intricate interplay between language, thought and experience.
