Language versus reality. The case for phenomenology and the Deleuzian 'heresy'
Abstract
This article is an inquiry into the relationship of language, as a phenomenon
within the world, with the reality of the world as such and the ontological dimensions that
underlie a conception of language in these terms. In doing this and in highlighting a kind
of interiority of language with regard to reality naively thought, the author undertakes a
discussion of the linguistic phenomenon in a broad phenomenological perspective, implying
ipso facto a temporality factor, which except for an argumentation along this way deals
also with the Deleuzian position on the matter in The Logic of Sense, as contrasted with the
‘orthodox’ or mainstream phenomenological view.
A major place in the article has the argumentation about the deficiency of language in epistemological terms, more specifically in the face of certain phenomena associated with quantum mechanical situations.
