Filosofia trascendentale e pensiero linguistico in Georg Michael Roth (1769-1817).

Georg Michael Roth was one of the first philosophers to address the problem of language through the means of transcendental philosophy. In this paper, I will focus on the fundamental ideas of Roth's linguistic thought. I will deal with Roth's pure concept of language which (i) is opposed to the empiricist concept of language and (ii) is substantially linked to the idea of a cognitive ground of linguistic ability. I will also address the theoretical argument that grounds the structural correspondence between Vorstellung, i.e. the internal/mental content, and Darstellung, i.e. the expression of the content. As we shall see, this also clarifies the necessity of Darstellung. Finally, I will deal with the structure of the linguistic Darstellung as the condition for the possibility that there is meaning in ordinary experience [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
