He says, "Don't ask for the meaning, ask for the use of a word." In other words, we don't say if good means this or that; we say how it is used.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If it is used for God, it is good.</p>
<p>Devotee: So he doesn't present a philosophy; he presents a method, a methodology, but not a philosophy.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: No. His philosophy describes the actual use of language. That is philosophy. So any philosophy that describes how language is used, that's proper philosophy.</p>
<p>Devotee: He doesn't describe how to use language; he describes principles for judging how to use language. But he has not himself described how to use language. So therefore he has not presented a philosophy. He has presented so many methods for presenting philosophy.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: But those methods, they are also philosophy.</p>
<p>Devotee: The philosophy of presenting philosophy, but no philosophy itself.</p>
<p>Devotee (2): But philosophy is meant to understand the ultimate goal of life. What does he say the ultimate goal of life is? What is his ultimate goal of life?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That they do not know.</p>
<p>Devotee: He said you have to transcend what he presented to find out what that ultimate goal of life is. So anybody...</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: His philosophy is an active attempt to clarify.</p>
<p>Devotee: Clarify what? What is he clarifying?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Clarify his nonsense. He is talking all nonsense. That will be clarified.</p>
