Dialectics of Internal and External :: Philosophy Philosophical Papers

Dialectics of Internal and outsideABSTRACT The central topic of this paper is the analysis of the dialectical mutuality of congenital and out-of-door in the theory of language as a symbolic system. Referring to and analyzing the philosophic legacy of W. von Humboldt, B. Russell, L. Wittgenstein, F. de Saussure and G. Spet, the author concludes that the dialectics of internal and external is not an accidental and episodic phenomenon of language. It rather is an intrinsic, ontological trait apart(predicate) from which an adequate cognition of the essence of language is impossible. Taking the internal bod as a logical structure, it is possible to view it as something high and fundamental in language, something that is attainable more by intuition than by research. The internal intellectual base of this grammatic stability lies in the subject of purely logical forms. If internal word formulations are related to and governed by the spirit, then the external forms in fact conceal a n inner(a) grammatical and syntactic edifice. The laws of external speech functioning are manifested, for example, in bilingualism, which may be viewed either as a social phenomenon related to case-by-case thinking and classificatory abilities or as an evidence of the existence of third estate verbal structures in human consciousness. The author proposes to transfer such lingual terms as bilingualism and contamination into a different context as a way of seeking new topical domains within the lingual philosophy and the philosophy of language. The empiricism of specific language functioning in the form of bilingual language contamination brings us back to the surmise of the existence of uniform internal metalanguage structures of verbal thinking. The Internal Form as a Language StructureEver since Bertrand Russell, analytical philosophy has searched for an inner logical form of the sentence that could be straightforward with respect to the world. Obviously, the piddling exte rnal grammatical form of sentences that we comprehend is a weak construction of the true form of corresponding facts. Poor grammar introduced many errors in tralatitious metaphysics disallowing distinctions available exclusively in the new logic. There is a deal for a philosophical grammar a grammar, because we speak about the form of the sentences, and philosophical because it should address not only the external but also the internal grammatical structures and reflect their interactions and transmutations thus revealing forms and elements that create the reality of true sentences.A new meaning of philosophy began with Wittgensteins Tractatus.
