Example text
The unity of ordinary language (or the language of traditional metaphysics) and the language of phenomenology is never broken in spite of the precautions, the "brackets," the renovations or innovations. Transforming a traditional concept into an indicative or metaphorical concept does not eliminate its heritage; it imposes questions, rather, to which Husserl never ventured a response. This is due to the fact that, on the other hand, being interested in language only within the compass of rationality, determining the logos from logic, Husserl had, in a most traditional manner, determined the essence of language by taking the logical as its telos or norm.
In order to protect the pure presence of both solitary mental life and the signified meaning, a "medium" of signification is required that would be free from all empirical resistance; a signifying "element" is needed that would be absolutely nonempirical. For Husserl, this "medium" or "element" is the voice (and however silent it may be, the internal monologue is still "spoken"). The voice is the most "ideal" of signifiers in that it appears to be completely free of any empirical substance. Only in speech does the signifier seem to be completely "reduced" to its signified content; the spoken word is a strangely diaphanous and transparent medium for meaning.
