Description

Being and Language by Seyed Javad Miri presents a critical and nuanced exploration of the philosophical dimensions of language, challenging the reductive instrumentalist view that treats language merely as a tool for communication. Drawing upon both Western and Islamic intellectual traditions, the book investigates the ontological foundations of language, emphasizing the distinction between ontical expressions (specific, empirical languages) and the ontological horizon (language as the ground of Being). Miri critically engages with seminal thinkers such as Heidegger, Chomsky, Derrida, Gadamer, and Wittgenstein to highlight the divergent trajectories in analytic and continental philosophy-contrasting the former’s linguistic critique with the latter’s existential hermeneutics.
