However, I'm not exactly clear what this book is adding to his earlier writings. *Human Agency and Language* went some way into developing at least the rudiments of his expressivist viewpoint, complete with allusion to the 'triple-H' theory of meaning, and that was later developed further in his writings on Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty (some of which have been collected in *Philosophical Arguments*). <br /><br />The call to aim towards an Aristotelian story about humans as rational animals is new, as far as I know, but much of the rest reads as if it is little development of the central ideas from those earlier writings.

We shape these communication tools. it is not a mystery. It just shows again the hostility toward human intelligence. Thinking comes first and then expression. We are not a product of our body.
