Abstract

New phenomenology considers itself to be a philosophy with a point of departure in raising self-awareness regarding human’s self-finding in their environment. It connects to the everyday, pre-theoretical human life experience to openly present the content without deviating it through scientific theories and models. This contribution deals with the question regarding how human non-arbitrary life experience relates to its language capabilities. For the purpose mentioned, Hermann Schmitz’s philosophical thoughts on the language will be reconstructed and set into context with other contributions in the philosophy of language. Firstly, the role of language in the frame of so-called developed presence will be discussed before the relation between language and thinking, also between language and world will be considered. In the context given I will more explicitly examine Schmitz’s conception of the intradiffusive sense of situations and discuss its reach. The key to understanding Schmitz’s philosophy of language lies in correctly connecting intradiffusive sense of situations, individual sense in a single situation and language sense, that is, language meaning
