Abstract

Nietzsche says, "Take the language seriously". We do not enter into the conflict of "practice" and "theory" as we move into the era where one has broken on the theory of language upside down when the language has served more as a means of persuasion. The fact that the from the comparison there appear much more important results, leaves such a simple assessment in the shade. The "language" the sophists have served as a means to earn money is only a superficial in reality. This means that a "speech", which focuses on persuading the addressee, depending on the time and place can show changes in spite of everything. Instead, the truth should be one and can withstand against time and place. At this point Russell has determined that, a language which is perfect and not vague, from a logical point of view, is not suitable for everyday conversation. But which of these uses (ideal language and the language of the speaker) should be "taken seriously"?
