The Semantic Structures of Philosophy: The Cosmopoetic Forms
Joško Žanić
Sažetak
This article continues the inquiry begun in the article entitled The Semantic Structures of Philosophy: Posing the Problem. It begins with an attempt to oppose Kant and Wittgenstein (whose views were compared in the antecedent article) on many points: Kant's mental constructivism, Wittgenstein's picture theory, the question of limits to knowledge/expressibility, the view that there is something wrong with philosophy, the nature of logic, etc. (to the extent to which such an opposition is possible, since all philosophy in the form of metaphysics is seen, following Popper, as unfalsifiable). Also, the problem of a philosophical background to this very text is adressed.
After this, the description of the code, or "language", of philosophy is given as the three cosmopoetic forms. It is proposed that every philosophical text can be fitted into these schemata. Philosophy is then brought into comparison with science and literature. Other residual issues are discussed, including the nature of philosophical problems as seen in this context and the proposal of the method for analysing philosophical texts, as opposed to interpreting them.
In the last part of the text, the question is briefly discussed and left open, namely whether the aim of this text to be a non-philosophical description of philosophy is achievable.
