Dieses Buch sucht nach Konsequenzen der Goodman'schen Typologie von Symbolsystemen. Wenn alle Symbolisierungen Bezugnahme als gemeinsame Basis haben und sich zwischen semantisch wie syntaktisch eindeutigen sowie weder syntaktisch noch semantisch eindeutigen lokalisieren lassen, muss es einen Bereich geben, in dem sich beide Dimensionen, beruhren'. Hier verortet die Arbeit die Metaphernbildung, woraus sich neue philosophische Fragen ergeben.

To what extent can we doubt certainties? How are certainties expressed in words? Which language games convey certainty? To answer these questions we have to recall the method Wittgenstein used in his investigations.

The book links the concept of intention to human action. It provides answers to questions like: Why do we act intentionally? Which impact do reasons and motives have on our decisions?
Certain events are identified as intentional actions when they are considered as being rationalized by reasons. The linguistic description of such events enables us to reveal the structure of intention. The mental and the linguistic constitute irreducible ways of understanding events.
Among the topics discussed are intentionality, actions, the linguistic form to talk about intentionality and...
