Default Re: linguistic theories (grammar, language)

"Objects aren't objects, if no subject perceives them. In so far "objects" are composed of ideas. But that's on the subject level." - this means that objects or truths cannot exist beyond meaning (intention). Are truths subjective? Are they mental representations, or metaphors?

"No subject has direct access to the object." - this means that the existence of objects or of truths requires that we go beyond mere intention (meaning). Can an object exist outside of the mind? Phenomenologists mean that the existence of objects requires that we have evidence and evidence is provided by intuition. Objective truths, then, are provided by intuition. Is that what you mean?


I am sorry for being so inquisitive. I learn so very much from you, even if it is not directly about language. But language is philosophy, isn't it?
