Integrating Reality

by Roy Harris

Integrating Reality discusses the ontological assumptions behind integrational linguistics. They start from the assumption that 'What is reality?' is a question that only human beings are capable of asking. Being able to ask it already presupposes a mastery of language, and in turn tacitly assumes recognition of selfhood in the questioner. 'Who am I?' is ultimately the same question in disguise. Roy Harris's recent books include Rationality and the Literate Mind and Mindboggling.
