The Semantic Structures of Philosophy: The Cosmopoetic Forms

Author(s): Joško Žanić
Subject(s): Philosophy
Published by: Hrvatsko Filozofsko Društvo

Summary/Abstract: This article continues the inquiry begun in the article entitled »The Semantic Structures of Philosophy: Posing the Problem«. It begins with an attempt to oppose Kant and Wittgenstein (whose views were compared in the antecedent article) on many points: Kant’s mental constructivism, Wittgenstein’s picture theory, the question of limits to knowledge/expressibility, the view that there is something wrong with philosophy, the nature of logic, etc. (to the extent to which such an opposition is possible, since all philosophy in the form of metaphysics is seen, following Popper, as unfalsifiable). Also, the problem of a philosophical background to this very text is adressed. After this, the description of the code, or »language«, of philosophy is given as the three cosmopoetic forms. It is proposed that every philosophical text can be fitted into these schemata.
