Books like The differend: Phrases in dispute

Can't help but think that this text leans to much on an inter-textual approach to philosophy. Also, his work is extremely fascinating in several ways - like the way he describes the Differend as finding idioms for thoughts that do not necessarily fit into our current lexicon... and that finding idioms for new thoughts constitutes the goal of philosophy... albeit this notion of philosophy tends to be a bit too 'linguistical' in its approach, I think the overall point is that discourse can be an inadequate way to approach the truth as well, but language, even though it is faulty, is really the only tool philosophers have to say anything meaningful at this point.
