Hence the gist of my metaphysics: to reject the
language/world-without-language distinction.

What about the pre-lingual experience of infants?
Scott replied:
Or what about the experience of a molecule 10 miles below the earth's
surface? That is, I figured it was realized that I am extending
"language"
way human speech and writing.

And if you object that I shouldn't extend 'language' causes confusion, I
partially agree. That is why I prefer to use the phrase "everything is
semiotic".
Paul:
I'm not sure what "everything is semiotic" means. Do you mean that
everything experienced is a sign? If so, does this not imply, by
definition, that we only experience that which necessarily stands for
something else? Is this something else, which is distinct from the
experience of its sign, something akin to a Kantian noumenon?

Paul
