Strata and Systems in Language
摘要
In the text, published in the Hebrew book On the Way to Faith (בדרך לאמונה, Yachdav, Tel Aviv 1978, 81–89), Schächter advances his linguistic-philosophical project; as a religious intellectual, he rejects purely descriptive statements of reality in the tradition of the Vienna Circle. As he states, by giving his lecture about pessimistic statements in Vienna in 1937, he aimed to turn the remaining followers of the Vienna Circle away from their sole focus on descriptive statements only.
