Original language name
Talking Is Lying: On One Suspicious Metaphor
Original language description
"Talking is lying," says Nietzsche. "But in saying this," retorts Carnap, "are you lying or telling the truth?"-"The latter," intercedes Hegel, "because in lying the language turns out to be more truthful."-"This is scandalous! A lie is not true simply by definition," exclaims Russell, only to be interrupted by Oscar Wilde: "But what is a fine lie? Simply that which is its own evidence." This fictitious dialogue demarcates both the range of my chapter, which covers some philosophical opinions on language as the bearer of truth and falsity, as well as my chapter's actual subject, which is language's metaphorical nature. That "talking is lying" is a metaphor, i.e. something devised as transparently untrue in order to achieve some deeper understanding. And this amounts to seeing the metaphor as an inherent quality of language to distort reality in a way which becomes its own evidence.
