Three major processes of western philosophy

I want to say that a character is really amazing. His name is gorgias, and he actually put forward three famous propositions in ancient Greece. He said first: there is nothing and there is no matter. Because the existence you say is the idea behind the appearance or illusion. Then he made an inference. He said that even if something exists, there is no cognition, that is to say, even if there is a real existence, you can't know it, because all you know is a virtual image or phenomenon. He went on to make a third statement, saying that even if he knew something, he could not express it. He surprisingly explained the three major processes of western philosophy.

First, ontology. What is existence? Does it exist?

Second, epistemology. Even if it exists, you can't know. This is precisely the core difficulty of epistemology discussed by western classical philosophy in the second stage.

Third, the semantic turn of contemporary or modern philosophy, that is, since the way we perceive the world is a subjective perceptual logic system, the embodiment of this logic system is expressed through the language structure system, which has its inherent stipulation, which leads to the language operation transcending the fetters of logic and moving towards its own independent operating state, thus leading to the disorder of the logic system. This is a question that contemporary philosophical public opinion turns to discuss.
