In spite of the fact that modern philosophy is language-oriented, there are still no precise reasons why language should be seen as a necessary requirement for the possibility of human knowledge. The aim of this book is to present these reasons. After an outline of the fundamental philosophical problems concerning these requirements and a discussion of the a priori problems raised in Kant Kant‹s works, his a priori concept is applied to language in the sense of a »requirement of possibility.» What however is untenable is the additional provision "regardless of (all) experience.» According to the theory, knowledge is only possible based on the premise of a »bodily a priori» and a »linguistic a priori.« Human beings however develop and acquire both of these postnatally, which means that they cannot even develop without experience. The author shows how in the process of learning a language human beings become those creatures who are capable of scientific and philosophical thinking. The aim of this book is to show that the linguistic a priori is a necessary supplement to epistemological reflections.
