Dirk Westerkamp offers a systematic approach to German idealism's philosophy of language. He argues for the ongoing relevance of its semantical holism and shows how its encounter with rational realism amounts to a philosophically as well as linguistically fruitful discussion on the relation between language and thought, language and world, and language and subjectivity. Its ultimate aim is the pursuit of truth.
