Danilo Marcondes argues that, contrary to a traditional view
maintaining that language is not given any central role in early
modern philosophy, there was what could be considered an "early
linguistic turn" in the seventeenth century, opening a place for
the philosophy of language as part of the philosophical system
under construction at that period. Skepticism and Language in Early
Modern Philosophy: The Early Linguistic Turn also claims that the
revival of ancient skepticism at the modern age contributed
decisively towards this "linguistic turn" in so far as it attacked
the "powers of the intellect" in representing reality and making
knowledge possible. Marcondes argues that the concept of language
itself becomes crucial to this investigation since during this
period it was understood in different ways by different thinkers
leading to the central role which will be given to the philosophy
of language in contemporary philosophy.
