There is philosophy, which is about conceptual analysis - about the meaning of what we say - and there is all of this ... all of life.

In other words, the propositions of philosophy are not factual, but linguistic in character - that is, they do not describe the behaviour of physical, or even mental, objects; they express definitions, or the formal consequences of definitions.
