One's conception of language is central in fields such as
linguistics, but less obviously so in fields studying matters other
than language. In Language and the Ineffable Louis S. Berger
demonstrates the flaws of the received view of language and the
difficulties they raise in multiple disciplines. This breakthrough
study sees past failures as inevitable, since reformers retained
key detrimental features of the received view. Berger undertakes a
new reform, grounded in an unconventional model of individual human
development. A central radical and generative feature is the
premise that the neonate's world is holistic, boundary-less,
unimaginable, impossible to describe in other words, ineffable
completely distinct from what Berger calls "adultocentrism." The
study is a wholly original approach to epistemology, separate from
the traditional interpretations offered by skepticism, idealism,
and realism. The work rejects both the independence of the world
and the possibility of true judgment a startling shift in the
traditional responses to the standard schema. Language and the
Ineffable evolves a unique conception of language that challenges
and unsettles sacrosanct beliefs, not only about language, but
other disciplines as well. Berger demonstrates the framework's
potential for elucidating a wide range of problems in such diverse
fields as philosophy, logic, psychiatry, general-experimental
psychology, psychotherapy, and arithmetic. The reconceptualization
marks a revolutionary turn in language studies that reaches across
academic boundaries.
