This book examines the concept of meaning and our
general understanding of reality in a legal and philosophical context. Starting
from the premise that meaning is a matter of linguistic and other forms of
articulation, it considers the inherent philosophical consequences. Part
I presents Klages’, Derrida’s, Von Hofmannsthal’s and Wittgenstein’s
explorations of silence as a source of articulation and meaning. Debates
about 20 century psychologism gave the
attitude concept a pivotal role; it illustrates the importance of the discovery
that a word is globally qualified as ‘the basic unit of language’. This
is mirrored in the fact that we understand reality as a matter of particles and
thus interpret the real as a component of an all-embracing ‘particle story’.
Each chapter of the book focuses on an aspect of legal semiotics related
to the chapter’s theme: for instance on the meaning of a Judge’s ‘Saying for
Law’, on law students training in varying attitudes or on the ties between law
and language.
