The Emptiness of the Analytic
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I am reading the book Truth and Unstable, and find it very interesting. I want to learn more about the emptiness of the analytic, but I could not figure out what this concept is called in English (even using Google to search for possible translations). What is the correct English term? Thank you.
Answer
See here on p. 51:

In addition, I found a review here that touches on the issue: https://ndpr.nd.edu/news/empty-ideas-a-critique-of-analytic-philosophy/
