Description: "The sciences of signs and language are viewed in this book from the perspective of the philosophy of language. Ultimately, the aim is to develop a critique of sign processes and communication (verbal and nonverbal) in the sphere of anthroposemiosis and to search for their conditions of possibility, their foundations. If we agree that philosophy is dialogue, opening to the other, interrogation of monolingualism, of monologism, and again that philosophy calls for inventiveness, innovation, creativity such that cannot be repressed by the order of discourse, by the limits of argumentation, by the common places of language, then the implications are interesting for our interpretation of what to understand by "philosophy of language." In fact, rather than consider "of language" in the expression "philosophy of language" as indicating language as the object of study of philosophy, this expression, "philosophy of language," may be understood as indicating "philosophy" inherent in language itself, that is, the attitude, the inclination to philosophy, to philosophizing characteristic of language."--
