Uma linguagem de caracteres para os cidadãos do mundo? Uma revisão filosófica

Jumanto Jumanto

This is a philosophical review on the paper Towards a Character Language: A Probability in Language Use, the ontological, epistemological and axiological aspects of which are identified, accounted for, and made significant on the questioned entitled proposition. The ontology highlights the what aspects, the epistemology does the how aspects and the axiology does the why aspects of the thesis. This review thus comprises accounts on the three philosophical aspects, strengths and weaknesses of the thesis and its probable contribution to the global harmony, in the real world as well as in the virtual world. Objective, less-opinionated accounts with some highlights are given on the philosophical aspects, while subjective perspectives are elaborated on the strengths and weaknesses of the thesis. Based on the axiological aspects, probable contributions are predicted for the global harmony, as languages of the world are presumably universal, especially in the verbal interaction of meanings shared and practiced together by the members within particular speech societies or particular ethnic groups throughout the world.
