it seems to me that any discourse quickly finds its way to the inexpressible of language. various metaphors for these a priori “operators” have been proposed throughout modern times. plato called them “forms,” kant “noumena,” kierkegaard “inwardness,” hegel “weltgeist,” lacan “the chain of signification,” buddha “buddha mind,” linehan “wise mind,” wittgenstein “the ladder that is thrown away once climbed,” searle “the background of consciousness,” rorty “final vocabulary,” freud “das es,” nietzsche and schopenhauer “will.” contact with the unsayable. isn’t that what therapy is all about?
