How Does Strawson Unify Epistemology, Ontology and Logic?

Strawson’s conception of analysis as a ‘connective linguistic analysis’ makes it possible for him to achieve an indefinitely large range of ideas or concepts among them are certain numbers of fundamental, general and pervasive concepts or concept-types which not only are pre-theoretical or ahistorical, but also together constitute a structural framework only within which logic, ontology and epistemology is possible. He takes it as a foundation for this conclusion that logic, ontology and epistemology are three aspects of one unified enquiry (or trio) and strengthens it by this assertion that we can understand this unity through considering the fundamental operation of our language. In this paper, after tracing the lineof development of Strawson’s philosophical idea of the trio and specifyingthe fundamental operation of our language (or the common thread which makes this unity possible), we stipulate that it is by means of ‘connective linguistic analysis’ that Strawson was able to unify epistemology, ontology and logic
