He is interested in what we sayabout ourselves in ordinary language and notices that such ordinaryexperience conflicts with what the Platonic tradition claims we (truly)are. This conflict does not lead him to turn away from the human termsand expressions, but impels him to take seriously what we say aboutourselves and to explain it philosophically"– Provided by publisher.
