Unsupported and unsupportable. To make a long story as short as possible:
While every specific discipline needs a starting point that cannot itself be
defined within the discipline in question (and the consequence of ignoring
this is regressio ad infinitum), the global territory of all disciplines,
i.e. the globality of knowledge and meta-knowledge (this in fact holds for
specific enquiries, e.g. on language, philosophy, history), can only be
described within knowledge itself, and the starting point of the global
discourse rather is a *paradoxical horizon* that can only be "filled from
within". IOW, the "starting point" in this case rather is an ever moving
limit, an inexhaustible horizon, where every discourse can only be made from
within: the genuine paradox being that the global discourse, itself, can
only be made from within the limits of what it pretends to delimit: and this
discourse must be such that it does not betray the fundamental paradox that
is founding its territory of concern.
