I’ve been getting positive feedback on this book, so I just posted some excerpts from A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis on PhilPapers. I hope this is sufficient to assess whether the book will be of value to you as a reader. Even if you don’t purchase or read the entire book, I am still interested in your feedback here or elsewhere on social media.
Informally, I consider this as Monograph #0, as I hadn’t considered that I’d create a series that follows this concept.
#1 When Language Fails: Ontological Pluralism and the Limits of Moral Resolution
#2 The Architecture of Encounter: A Mediated Encounter Ontology
#3 The Architecture of Willing: A Diagnostic Genealogy of the Will-Family (forthcoming, June 2026)
The remaining chapters are available in the book, which is available at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble and other local book sellers.
