Abstract: Language studies should be kept on the track of pursuing philosophical wisdom and methodology. Qian Guanlian has been committed to the cause of building a philosophical road out of the jungles of daily language use, by means of transforming wisdom into theories and methodologies. His commitment is a fruitful combination of Socratic examination, Platonic formulation, and Aristotelian categorization, during which his philosophical questions have been raised, new concepts and theories proposed, and empirical studies of language use conducted through a series of categorizing, reasoning and generalizing. A remarkable philosophical question, raised in his Aesthetic Linguistics, has been answered in his works such as The Theory of Language Holography and the book entitled Language: The Last Homestead of Human Beings. His theory of language holography is metaphorically a rope which is used to integrate the order of cosmos with language in tune with the order of human mind. Thus, on the one hand, Qian Guanlian’s rope has helped ancient Greek philosophers to figure out a way of harnessing the relation of cosmos to human mind. On the other hand, Qian Guanlian has built up a way from words to metaphysics, with which human beings have to discipline themselves to behaviors-fixed speech events. Qian Guanlian’s rope is an unforgettable contribution to metaphysics.
