The invention and use of tools have played a large part
in consolidating meanings, because a tool is a thing used
as a means to consequences, instead of being taken directly
and physically. It is intrinsically relational, anticipatory,
predictive. Without reference to the absent, or "transcendence",
nothing is a tool. (...) As to be a tool, or to be used as
means for consequences, is to have and to endow with meaning,
language, being the tool of tools, is the cherishing mother
of all significance.
