Description
This book examines the concept of meaning and ourgeneral understanding of reality in a legal and philosophical context. Startingfrom the premise that meaning is a matter of linguistic and other forms ofarticulation, it considers the inherent philosophical consequences. PartI presents Klages’, Derrida’s, Von Hofmannsthal’s and Wittgenstein’sexplorations of silence as a source of articulation and meaning. Debatesabout 20th century psychologism gave theattitude concept a pivotal role; it illustrates the importance of the discoverythat a word is globally qualified as ‘the basic unit of language’. Thisis mirrored in the fact that we understand reality as a matter of particles andthus interpret the real as a component of an all-embracing ‘particle story’. Each chapter of the book focuses on an aspect of legal semiotics relatedto the chapter’s theme: for instance on the meaning of a Judge’s ‘Saying forLaw’, on law students training in varying attitudes or on the ties between lawand language.
