Description:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_McLuhan
Language is not description, or if it is, then description is not discovery of a pre-existing world: language is the creation of a new space of awareness, the emergence of higher levels of autopoiesis.
When we talk, we make art.
Even science is an art. It is a technological act of poiesis (an enframed creation). Think about it, without language there can be no science. Nor could be there be thought, or at least a thinker.
Objectivity is God's view of the world. An atheist who talks about objectivity may have stopped believing in God, but that is only because he has assumed God as himself. God is the archetype; atheist man kills him and steals his craft. man becomes the architect of his own creation. The requirement that an ark exist is never questioned. We cannot live without our roots. And that they are roots, we can be sure. Heaven may be a pristine cloudscape, but Earth is a muggy jungle. Nature knows no bounds, no wall can contain her. Our bodies, our voices, our language; all of it grew out of the dust of the Earth while the Sun spun around in our heads and bounced off the Moon at night. Humans learned to think by watching the sky change.

I majored in Philosophy also. Now I realize most of it is a lot of mental masturbation. Not that there isn't depth to life, but you barely tap the surfuce with this kind of bullshit. Lets hope you snap out of it or you'll grow up like Imendham or whatever the fuck his name is.

The problem is where to begin, what is the start ? Scientific language or nature. If there's one.

the weirdest thing about the "grammaticalisation" of nature (Humbolt, linguistic turn, Wittgenstein, McLuhan, etc...)is when it's integrate with the naturalisation of langage (Quine, Chomsky, etc...) Put together these two perspectives give us a better sense of our complexity. We create by scientific language the natural reality that explain the possibily of the emergence of our scientific language that by feedback create nature, etc...

If they were really absolute truths, they would not be rules we SHOULD be following, they would be rules we WOULD be following. Morality is all about shoulds and oughts, about social context, about obeying norms. So to be objective about it in a strong sense (that the rule is more than a human convention) doesn't seem possible.

We can objectify morality. That is exactly what we do when we make laws and punish offenses. My argument is that these laws and punishments are artifacts and activities sustained by social convention, not some universal truths out there in the world waiting for us to find them.

Do you mean there is no objective morality in any case? Or do you mean there is not an objective morality that could be derived that would apply to every case? (I think I know what you mean, just being rigorous.)

it sounds to me that we only talk to our selves, when our theories split us of from the whole,we can imagin ourselves as a whole but then get into theoretical theries which in them selves,thinking about them ,is that which causes the split the mind must remain in the whole and see from there
