9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 6. Nihilism about Objects

18314	In language we treat 'ego' as a substance, and it is thus that we create the concept 'thing' [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: It is the metaphysics of language (that is, of reason) ....which believes in the 'ego', in the ego as being, in the ego as substance, and which projects its belief in the ego-substance on to all things - only thus does it create the concept 'thing'.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Twilight of the Idols [1889], 2.5)
