Philosophers claim that European/American thought has gone through a linguistic turn in the last several decades. The truth is the opposite. Rorty says, “The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other humans can do that.”
Soo, this is a “linguistic” philosophy, but Psalms 8 and 19 are pre -linguistic?? I don’t think so.
