Abstract
I agree with the general phenomenological program, if it is understood to be an attempt to unveil the relations between being and things. If language is understood as praxis, I would not object to a linguistic formulation of the task to be that it allows us to raise the following types of questions or questions about the following type of questions: Is a tree a thing? What is the relation between the entity “tree” and the scientific objectification of a tree as a type of plant? Are there class distinctions among peoples? Is class being real?
