I'm not on top of this at all, but I'd figure there's a whole critique of the modern western culture of philosophy and thought from a simple sociological perspective that is premised pretty simply on the idea that ...

"those who were good at and (therefore) emphasised language were simultaneously biased in their estimation of its importance and disproportionately influential through the relative persuasiveness of their linguistic skills and predisposition to taking up philosophy and the humanities."

Or in meme terms ... western thought needs to move past its wordcel phase and bring some rotator balance/holistic-ness back.
