卡茨认为,20世纪哲学已经经历了两次语言学转向。在第一次转向中,语言成为哲学家们关注的中心。在第二次转向中,语言学成为哲学家们关注的中心。卡茨企图发起以语言学之基础为关注中心的第三次语言学转向。他认为,只有建立在实在论基础之上的语言学才能成为自主的学科,而为语言学奠定实在论基础就是构建意义的形而上学。卡茨提出的意义形而上学代表着20世纪后半叶西方语言哲学家重新确立形而上学之基础地位的一次努力。
Katz argues that 20th-century philosophy has undergone two shifts in linguistics. In the first turn, language became the center of philosophers’ attention. In the second turn, linguistics became the center of philosophers’ attention. Katz attempts to initiate the third linguistic turn of focus on linguistics. He believes that only linguistics based on the theory of realism can become an autonomous discipline, while laying the foundation of realism for linguistics is the construction of metaphysics of meaning. The metaphysical meanings proposed by Katz represent an effort by Western philosophers to re-establish the basic position of metaphysics in the second half of the 20th century.
