Abstract

Systematization, antimetaphysics and historicism cause to separate
continental and analytical philosophies - two big philosophical realmsfrom
each other. Yet, language could still live as matter of common
concern amongst contemporary philosophers. To explain it more, language
has alienated from its real function and has taken cultural and social content
instead .While, Truth is not in line with the adaptation claims ,and
became an intersubjective topic which drawn out through dialogue between
traditions and cultures. This discourse re-examines the mentioned basis in
the gist of Husserl, Heidgger, Gadamer and Wittgnstein's thoughts-the
most eminent philosophers of these two realms of thinking.
