Remember Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason? I think that, as a forerunner for science, spelled doom for philosophy, but in terms of language, given Lakoff’s Philosophy in the Flesh, he may have revealed our metaphorical dependency as humans, where everything we think we know is limited sensually. If you take a grasshopper, for example, it sees the same world differently than we do. It’s the same reality, but I bet it would have another point of view. Is the sky really blue?
