What we call reality is the function of the language we speak. Language and the categories we impose on reality are ways of knowing and dividing the world. Names as very important aspect of language are not mere reference tags or expressions. In Igbo culture, for instance, they often serve very important historical, sentimental, ethical, functions for the family and for the larger community.
The work shows the usefulness and limitation of modern logic in the study of traditional metaphysical problems. As is the usual case in all criticism of analytic philosophers against traditional philosophy, word usage must be limited to what the human mind can know. The notion of timeless knowledge for example contradicts our normal mode of word usage and cannot serve as adequate in reference to knowledge be it that of man or of God. If timeless knowledge applied to divine mode of knowing then there cannot be human freedom.
