>Empiricism and Cartesianism are not the only tributaries of the Myth [of the Given]; one important strand of phenomenology is as well. Our understanding of thought is not just modeled on our understanding of language; the intentionality of thought arises from the intentionality of discourse.
>Thought is not the locus of an originary intentionality that is subsequently transmitted to language; rather, intentionality is primarily a property of candid public speech established via the development of meta-linguistic resources that allow us to talk about talk.
>In other words to say that something is about something requires meta-linguistic resources. It is a reflexive conceptual achievement.
