“Man stands like a narrow doorway in the landscape“

I am an independent researcher and thinker specialising in human behaviour. I created this project through several articles you can find in our journal. In them, I put forward a theory that centres around the nature of language but addresses various aspects of human life, such as kinship, money and institutions. The theory aims to explain why human beings do the things we do, not to tell anyone what they should do. The theory actually addresses why we confuse description and prescription, and what this confusion has to do with what we call science.
This is why I suggest that biology, the (descriptive) study of life, be understood as providing many of the answers that have traditionally been expected from philosophy. Biology provides the necessary grounding in real life to avoid getting lost in formal or romantic abstractions, and to achieve consistency among theoretical perspectives. My research thus covers psychology, anthropology, and linguistics primarily, but also economics, psychiatry, art, literature and other fields.
The original meaning and essence of truth in Ancient Greece was aletheia: disclosure, unconcealment, the bringing of what was previously hidden into the open. This meaning is different from the common interpretation of truth as correctness or certainty, which is burdened by moral assumptions that go deep into our nature.
