Human Language and Objective Reality:

This book is about the contingent emergence of human language and culture. Linguistic concepts are the building bricks of language and objective reality but these have contingently emerged from the primitive concepts of our hominid ancestors. Objectively referential practices of language have led to practices of reference to what has been said and this has enabled concepts such as falsity and truth, ambiguity and meaning. From these simple axioms, the emergence of human objective reality and morality may be explained. The human world is real but its objective reality is contingent on the natural emergence of life and its subsequent evolution which has led to human morphology and language. Within a theory of intentional agency, that applies to all motile life from the first bacteria to all current phyla, action is contingent on the current structure of the living agent and the natural content of current perception. Natural content emerged with life, linguistic content emerged with language, but natural content can only be described in the linguistic concepts of an observer. This text will interest all concerned with the philosophies of mind, consciousness and morality.
