A Universe of Knowledge and Duties

Abstract

Language, as it exists, is above all a tool to define, appropriate, use and share our knowledge. As such it is conceived to introduce us to our environment and milieu by denominating and teaching the properties of the various components which make them up. Our language is a sort of code which indicates to us how to make good use of the world in which we are situated. And the verb ‘to be’, which somehow or other underlies the foundation of the truth that language passes on to us, above all is used for establishing an objective approach to the elements which form the world and the way of organizing them into a whole. In our logic, the verb ‘to be’ barely contributes to saying or knowing our being, whereas it ought to be the first knowledge—starting from which we can really discover or institute the objective truth of the various components of the world.
