logos

Logos, for our classical philosophy, is language and thought together. Language and thought are the same thing. If those philosophers were right, when we think, or talk, we always do it with words and propositions and with their rules of use. Now, the basic question sounds like this: Is that word or proposition the thing or the fact to which we refer it? Or not? No, the word is not the thing, the sentence is not the fact, the language is not the world. If we say yes we are taking a wrong path, even if very busy. The eidetic discourse, which identifies the word and essence of the thing, is the most dramatic source of errors. Even if we suspend the judgment, waiting for the "return to the things themselves". It is madness and decadence.
