Why is it important?
The book symposium on "The Language Animal" was the first, which was held on this book. But more importantly it was held together with Charles Taylor. His replies to the comments on his book are included in this special issue.
Perspectives
It was a great pleasure to discuss "The Language Animal" with all discussants and the author Charles Taylor at the Max-Weber-Kolleg in Erfurt. Last but really not least it was again a great pleasure to collaborate with Ulf Bohmann. It made me understand the role of language philosophy in Taylors philosophy in greater depth.
