- Der_Einzige 7y agoNo you don't. Lay-people offer great criticism against "language" without knowing the "language of critique". I don't need to say "Your epistemology is built upon a reductionist and totalizing conception of the self". I can say "There is no all-knowable truth in the world if there is no directly identifiable self"
- menacingly 7y agoThe language of critique itself is designed to reach certain conclusions and be blind to others. It's like a calculator with no odd numbers.
