Logocentrism

"Logocentrism" is a term coined by the German philosopher Ludwig Klages in the early 1900s.^[1] It refers to the tradition of Western science and philosophy that regards words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality. It holds the logos as epistemologically superior and that there is an original, irreducible object which the logos represent. According to logocentrism, the logos is the ideal representation of the Platonic ideal.
