1.4 Downward Causation
The evolution as a downward causation will bring us at our human DNA-profile
with a unification of language and music, of Word and Sound, based i.e. in the
FOXP2-gene on the 7th chromosome. This is my point of view as the opposite of
the statement of Hawking about the ultimate discrepancy between physics and the
other sciences.
We leave this item going on to our cultural developments and the importance of
what has happened with our languages in recent history. What has happened with
us, the language and our mondial cultures?
After the Enlightenment a linguistic turn has taken place, conform the American
Richard Rorty. 18 Language became a new philosophical and cultural phenomenon.
The revelation of the philosophy of language came with such a power that it
was similar to a knife, cutting the traditional life and traditional thinking.
Heidegger however wanted to maintain a language with a deep fundamentally
content. He rejected scientific thinking and found the power of language in poetry
full of etymology. He wanted the human individual disappearing from the philosophical
scene: not the human individual but Being is the matter of fact.
But at the same time he declared Being as abyss, a No-thing. 19 In his Sein und
Zeit (Being and Time) he draws attention to the fact that hermeneutics have followed
him from his theological studies. Heidegger’s hermeneutics became the
foundation of the study of the human phenomenon. His “explanation” and “interpretation”
of the structure of man’s existence on the one hand, an understanding
of its being intertwined with historical developments on the existential language
18 Rorty, Richard, The Linguistic Turn (1967). This publication was firmly in the prevailing analytic mode, collecting
classic essays on the linguistic turn in analytic philosophy. With Rorty started the densitification of the language.41
