"The aim of this book is to show that the world, including human beings and their consciousness, is not originally a world of thing but a world of words; that fundamentally the world has the structure of a text; and that it is therefore possible to read it like a test." -- Georg Kühlewind

To realize this goal, one must bear in mind three different approaches, or disciplines: epistemology, psychology, and linguistics. These are united by the phenomenology--"empiricism of consciousness"--used by the author, who always speaks from and toward experience.

This is not an ordinary text, but a guide to philosophical experience--to the experience of cognition itself.
