Kant, Mises, and Economics - An interesting read

[The One and Only...]

I've gotten through the first two parts so far.

Long ago I yielded that imperfect communication exists within language, and I actually feel that a new language is necessary (or at least desireable) for philosophical discourse a la the "primitive notation" model. This is why I stress that any sort of system based upon the necessary consequences of definitions must always be contextually evaluated and at times modified to keep in line with the original conceptualization. In addition, the problem of linguistics is no more damning to these analytic systems than to those relying on observation, for there is just as much room for error in translating experience into words as there is concepts - and at their roots, concepts are what words truly represent.

I guess, then, a priori truths are more the results of concepts than actual definition... ah, well. You get where I'm going with this. I'll try to finish the article sometime when it isn't 2 AM.
