Philosophy is sort of applied linguistics, in the sense that the questions you're asking are kind of aiming for a precise definition of a certain semion or concept, i.e. what is virtue? What does it mean when I say conscience? What does it when I say 'being'? etc.

This is what you term the sort of meta-lingual mode Deep is plumbing, one that you find slightly inscrutable, maybe from a lack of experience. This allows him to criticize the philosophical tradition, certainly prior to Wittgenstein and Heidegger, and much of it after them as well.

The sort of philosophy you would like in the end, one of a series of big questions along ethical and metaphysical lines that people find new and apposite ways of dealing with the whole time, is sort of antiquated; dismissed by the likes of Wittgenstein and Rorty. Instead, philosophy now looks for cultural (continental school) matters to conceptualize and consider or to untangle the complexity of logic and applied logic (analytical).
