Aristotle on the purpose of our language and its relation to our ultra-sociality

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this article is to explore Aristotle’s view on the relationship between human language and human ultra-sociality. I claim that although Aristotle considers the sociality of several animal species to be natural (physei), he regards human sociality as greater in degree (mallon) because it is achieved and sustained only through cooperation mediated by language. Attaining this heightened form of sociality requires a communicative tool that goes beyond the mere pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. It demands a conventional medium that enables us to detach from our immediate perceptions and imaginings (aisthēseis, phantasiai) and to enter the domain of constructing social relations grounded in justice. I argue that we accomplish this through the normativity inherent in human language.
