Synopsis:
  • Kant's a-priori is in the structure of language, not in the mind
  • Ethics grounded on the a-priori to shelter it from relativism
  • Language is itself the "ultimate foundation"
  • Language is a "communicative action between speakers" (a` la Austin)
  • Communicative action means the achievement of a consensus between speaker and hearer
  • The a-priori is "public", not solipsistic, because language language is social in nature
