    I think there is an answer to this dilemma in ceasing to look on language
    as just a tool (which I consider a SOM limitation) and concentrate on
    language itself. Not in what it describes, nor studying its syntax,
    semantics, and pragmatics (not that that is uninteresting), but looking
    into its conditions of possibility, and seeing it as a microcosm of the
    macrocosm.

    Oh yes, a reference for the logic of contradictory identity: The
    Nothingness Beyond God: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Nishida
    Kitaro, by Robert E. Carter.
