Nothing, or Everything?

East Lorenzo Garbarino If Ludwig Wittgenstein was right in his influential take that “the limits of my language means the limits of my world”, then English is ill-equipped to analyze the deepest concepts in Eastern philosophy. Our language structure…

Editorial March 2024 Issue
