The aim of this paper is to discuss Bergmann’s method of ideal language. According to Bergmann, philosophical questions – and, particularly, metaphysical ones – have to be solved by reflecting on the syntactical structure of the ideal language. This procedure should guarantee rigour and coherence to philosophy; however, this proposal seems to be puzzling. After shortly retracing Bergmann’s position, we argue that within it there seem to be conceptual tensions and that it is internally instable.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss Bergmann’s method of ideal language. According to Bergmann, philosophical questions – and, particularly, metaphysical ones – have to be solved by reflecting on the syntactical structure of the ideal language. This procedure should guarantee rigour and coherence to philosophy; however, this proposal seems to be puzzling. After shortly retracing Bergmann’s position, we argue that within it there seem to be conceptual tensions and that it is internally instable.
