World and Logic

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intricate connections between the world, logic, and language, the book presents a novel philosophical stance called 'rational representationalism.' Jens Lemanski draws on previously unknown lectures by Arthur Schopenhauer to argue that while human beings structure the world through linguistic and mathematical principles, the foundational vocabulary used in these structures is inherently metaphorical, derived from our intuitive experiences. This work challenges traditional views held by rationalists and representationalists, offering fresh insights into the philosophy of language and logic.
