Two AT the price of one

The possibility of thought? Can we talk about the possible outcomes of philosophical thought? It's being a topic, since at least Kierkegaard, to think of philosophical reflection as producing either a clarification of some conceptual framework with the result/intention of leveling it out as to make it available for scientific development or, a conceptual narrative of particular feelings or situations; being angst the main focus of attention. The difficulty (later promoted to finding) that philosophers found in the later endeavor was that most particular experiences were ineffable. Of course, this ineffability is just the practical problem of developing a lexicon for particular sense data configurations. (Think for example in the aroma of ripe Wisconsin apples. We describe it using more familiar flavors, or analogies with other sensations descriptions. The feeling that those words don’t “really” describe the flavor is quite natural. But, of course, it is no real obstacle; we simple don't have the necessity to develop particular words for such flavor.) The practical problem is solved, most of the times, by giving the properly formulated definitions of some basic concepts and letting propositions do the rest of the work. (Think for example in the innumerable particular planet configurations that Newtonian physics can describe. You could count with your hand the basic concepts involved in it.) But what is to “clarify a conceptual framework” but to give precise definitions of some all ready related ordinary concepts? What most philosophers trying to describe particular feeling didn’t do was, to say it with Quine, letting language get a bit self-conscious: they didn’t though of language rules and characteristics, consequently they jump too fast to the ineffable verdict or inadequately defined the concepts they were using to try to talk about angst and so. Of course there are some particular, interesting, exciting, and currently ineffable experiences. The thing is we don’t, quite simply, care enough as to (properly) talk about them.

Weird... This is to say a meet someone in my job and found it, a week later, on a bar. Also, to justify this post.
