Abstract

Keeping in mind the complexity of Charles Taylor’s thought, we consider briefly the twofold understanding of language, the representational-procedural approach and the constitutive-expressive approach, beginning with the moral ontology of self or agent. In the introduction, we briefly recapitulate some of the main ideas of Taylor’s philosophy. After this, we introduce the manner in which, for Taylor, language predicates an understanding of reality, from which he refers to the twofold understanding of language.

Keywords

Charles Taylor; language; subject; procedure; representation; constitutive; expressive.
