Philosophy of Language and the Humanities

언어철학과 인문학

Abstract

This article maintains that language not only connects the domains of objectivity and subjectivity but simultaneously occupies its own autonomous realm and creates the two domains as well. This means that the role of language in recognizing things in the universe is more important than we usually think, and that the system of language exists independently of the human thinking and objective reality. In this respect, study of language stands as a core subject in humanities, making itself a common denominator for full understanding of philosophy, theology, history, psychology, and arts.
