It was further developed in this century by Martin Heidegger, and Hans-Georg Gadamer extended its influence to contemporary philosophers such as Karl-Otto Apel and J?Habermas. This tradition focuses on the world-disclosing dimension of language, emphasizing its communicative over its cognitive function. Although this study is concerned primarily with the German tradition of linguistic philosophy, it is very much informed by the parallel linguistic turn in Anglo-American philosophy, especially the development of theories of direct reference. Cristina Lafont draws upon Hilary Putnam's work in particular to criticize the linguistic idealism and relativism of the German tradition, which she traces back to the assumption that meaning determines reference. Part I is a reconstruction of the linguistic turn in German philosophy from Hamann to Gadamer. Part II offers the deepest account to date of Habermas's approach to language. Part III shows how the shortcomings of German linguistic philosophy can be avoided by developing a consistent and more defensible version of Habermas' theory of communicative rationality.Studies in contemporary German social thought.Language and languagesPhilosophyHistory19th centuryHermeneuticsHistory19th centuryPhilosophy, German19th centuryLanguage and languagesPhilosophyHistory20th centuryHermeneuticsHistory20th centuryPhilosophy, German20th centuryElectronic books.Language and languagesPhilosophyHistoryHermeneuticsHistoryPhilosophy, GermanLanguage and languagesPhilosophyHistoryHermeneuticsHistoryPhilosophy, German121/.68Lafont Cristina1963-792797MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455288203321The linguistic turn in hermeneutic philosophy2483199UNINA
