The provided source, an excerpt from a philosophical blog post titled “What If the Frege–Geach Problem Isn’t?”, presents a critique of analytic philosophy’s foundational assumptions, specifically focusing on the Frege–Geach problem in meta-ethics. The author argues that this long-standing philosophical puzzle is a pseudo-problem that arises from mistaking "grammar dressed up as ontology," or inappropriately applying the logical rules of descriptive language to moral utterances. The post introduces the author's Language Insufficiency Hypothesis (LIH), which proposes that language is topographical rather than flat, demanding different conceptual grammars for distinct regions, such as Invariants, Contestables, Fluids, and Ineffables. According to the LIH, the analytic tradition's error lies in attempting to stretch classical logic across all conceptual terrain, thereby creating puzzles that dissolve once a meta-grammar is applied. Ultimately, the author maintains that the LIH does not solve the Frege–Geach problem but rather reclassifies it as a predictable failure mode of language within a limited analytic framework.
