A very complete and precise critical view of the philosophy of language, before and after the so-called linguistic turn, among whose virtues is the attention to the reception of the analytical and postanalytic approaches by the German philosophy. Throughout its pages, it is emphasized something that, for the author, shares in this field the different philosophical currents and gives the philosophy of language a strong internal consistency: the consensus in which the only way to assert a theoretical proposal or philosophical is to be willing to accept that it is put to the test in an open discussion forum, based on arguments.
