The river as a metaphor for \u201ethe world\u201c, \u201ethe things\u201c, \u201etime\u201c, etc. is ubiquitous in philosophy. This paper starts with a short-story by Bertolt Brecht and investigates the meaning of the metaphor in Brechts story about philosophy and transfers this to Hercalitus\u2018 and Wittgenstein\u2018s use of the river-metaphor. The paper differentiates the river-metaphor into two \u201erivers\u201c, an actual river and a metaphorical river. Brecht\u2018s story gives an account of philosophy as criticizing the metaphorical river. With Wittgenstein and Marx the paper suggests a critique of language that goes back to the actual river. This critique of language can help to solve problems of modern moral philosophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
