Entsteht, wie Josef Mitterer behauptet, beim Versuch, das kategorial von Beschreibungen verschiedene Diskursobjekt anzugeben, ein infiniter Regress? Dazu die zwei zentralen Thesen Mitterers aus dem "Jenseits der Philosophie" (nach einer internationalen Diskussion ins Englische übersetzt):
"57. The concession that the object and a rudimentary description are given before the descriptions in doubt comes about by a distinction: a distinction between the object of the descriptions in doubt and that description which came about by the mere indication of the object. Such a distinction can only be made with a repeated indication of the object. With this repeated indication an additional rudimentary description is linked, which likewise again has to be distinguished from the 'real', 'undescribed' object. But also this description is based on an indication of the object. The attempt to distinguish the indicated object from an accompanied rudimentary description releases an infinite regress which always leads to further rudimentary descriptions, but not to the object 'itself'."
"65. Each claim that the object already has to be given before the indication of the object anew results in an indication of the object. Therefore, this claim has to be adapted in the way that the object has to be given before any claim of this kind. With it, once again an infinite regress is released.
(When one claims that the object has to be given or is given already before the indication of the object, the object so is indicated already before the indication of the object.)"
