Linguistic philosophy

Linguistic philosophy is the view that philosophical problems could be solved (or dissolved) either by reforming language or by understanding more about the language that we presently use.[1] The former position is that of ideal language philosophy, the latter the position of ordinary language philosophy.[2] Logical atomism is one kind of ideal-language philosophy.
