Ilham Dilman

Ilham Dilman was a philosopher associated with Ordinary Language Philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of everyday language in understanding philosophical problems. He believed that many philosophical issues arise from misunderstandings of how we use language. Instead of seeking abstract solutions, Dilman argued for examining the way we talk about concepts like mind, knowledge, and reality. By clarifying the meanings of words and phrases in ordinary usage, he aimed to dissolve confusion and reveal insights about human thought and experience, making philosophy more accessible and grounded in the way we typically communicate.
