  Given to his peculiar, unique attention to what Derrida defined as the “wishes to said”, (El Querer Decir), the relation between expression and form as a Thinker Stephen A Tyler seems to be near to expressionism in philosophy, as explicit in his themes and issues The Unspeakable, (Lo Inablable o Inexpresable), The Said and the Unsaid, (Lo Dicho y lo no Dicho) or in his beautiful, commotional essay in response to me, Evocation: the Unwriteable, A Response to Abdel Hernandez San Juan, on evocation to language, trope, writing, silence, memory and everyday life sublime, to both special and common sense languages, something that can also suggest Stephen affinities to philosophical anthropology, except by his attention to more complex theoretical issues evolving abstract imagination as explicit in his rich essay Alternatives Linguistics: Remediation’s, and his accents to rhetoric’s. 

  I consider Stephen A Tyler a major classical thinker, founder of cognitive anthropology in USA since the sixties and one of the abstracts and deepest, profound theoreticians of his generation in USA and around the world, he has being inspirational to a new generation of united states young thinkers in USA as myself Abdel Hernandez San Juan, Quetzil Eugenio, Between others. 

   As explicit in his presenter Display edited by Lyotard and the impact of his work in Germany and Europe, Stephen work is being progresibly each time more philosophical than linguistic or anthropological, (his volumes with Ivo Sketcher from Germany). 

   As Geertz anticipated claiming and invoquing Stephen, while questioning the difficulties of anthropology to be an intellectual force in contemporary thought, Stephen A Tyler (his works, essays, writings), as Bourdieu or Boudrillard from Europe, but from a unique point of view, develop a rich entrance of anthropology in contemporary thought, as deepest as the first Chomsky, (transformational grammatic, syntactic theory), but lees motivated, exceptic to politics.
