Identity Politics are Toxic | Opinion Newsweek 1 hr ago
In
Philosophical Investigations, Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said that the meaning of a word rests in its use that there really isn t a definitive essence attached to words and their meanings. Language in terms of the meaning of words, in this sense, is not something that is fixed.
We see this philosophical observation playing out when the term identity politics is used. To ask, What is identity politics? is somewhat of a futile endeavor. It means far too many things. Is identity politics a good thing or a bad thing? To reference Wittgenstein again, the meaning of words is heavily contingent upon the context in which the word is used.
INTRODUCTION
One of the problems in the present debate about neurochemical imbalances is that almost every word in the English language has at least two meanings, and sometimes four or five. Some English speakers deplore this state of affairs and regard it as an endless source of confusion. Others consider it an indication of the richness of the language and its ability to express finely tuned nuances. Others use it as a tool of obfuscation.
In ordinary English, as spoken and written by ordinary people, the terms illness and disease are largely synonymous, and they mean: a maladaptive condition caused by a biological pathology.
