Dividing Reality by Eli Hirsch. Why does our language divide up reality one way rather than another?. The apparent irrationality of the new language does not depend on its impoverishedfact-stating power, as this may be equivalent to the fact-stating power of ordinary language; the problem then is to explain exactly what is wrong with it.

Hirsch calls this the division problem. His book aims to bring this problem into sharp focus, to distinguish it from various related problems, and to consider the best prospects for solving it.
