Searching for the book about a web of labels

[Ruminator]

Hi, I have troubles finding an older video of Leo's where he suggested a book about labels. the book was about a never ending web of labels which have no root. So every label, i.e. a word, is describable with other labels, and those labels with other ones never finding a conclusion. I am mainly interested in finding that book but also if anyone can remember the video it was mentioned in I would appreciate it. Any other good resources on this topic?

I don't remember what the video was about but the topic of labels was not the main topic. Also, hard to remember the year of I saw it, must be at least 3 years ago if not more though don't count me on that. Any help or thoughts about the topic would be appreciated, thank you.

This is it, thanks! Looks like my memory did a trick here. There is no "the book", Jacques Derrida's works are what I was searching for. Also, the main topic of that video was about the actual thing so it is worth another watch.

Sounds like "The web of belief" by Willard Van Orman Quine
