Ferrater Mora wrote several books and a number of essays that could be said to deal with language, the problems raised by language, and linguistic philosophy. He investigated a host of questions concerning the very nature of language itself. In Indagaciones sobre el lenguaje Ferrater discusses linguistic rules and games, the difference between language as an activity and as a structure, the notion of use, the difference between verbal and nonverbal languages, and so forth. In Cambio de marcha en filosofía Ferrater Mora examines what has sometimes been called linguistic or analytic philosophy. He discusses, among other things, analysis, touching on the nature of reason, some of the ways in which philosophy may be related to language, attitudes toward analysis. He also reflects on language in Las palabras y los hombres. In particular, Ferrater Mora writes on the language of religious experience, the languages of history, and the notion of meaning and reference. These are just some of the many problems centered around the notion of language that Ferrater Mora deals with in the material included in this section.
