Description

This work treats the development of linguistic thought from Descartes to Degerando as both a part of, and a determining factor in, the emergence of modern consciousness. Through analyses of works by the most influential thinkers of the time, Ulrich Ricken demonstrates that the central significance of language in the philosophy of the Enlightenment, reflected and acted upon contemporary understandings of humanity as a whole. The author discusses contemporary developments in England, Germany and Italy, and covers a broad range of writers and ideas, which includes Leibniz, Wolff, Herder and Humboldt. This study aims to place history of language and philosophy within the broader context of the history of ideas, aesthetics and historical anthropology, and should be of interest to scholars working in these disciplines.

Author Biography:

Ulrich Ricken founded and directed and is now Emeritus Professor of the International Centre for Research on the European Enlightenment at the University of Halle, Germany. He is the author of numerous books and articles on the history of ideas, the history of language, and the history of linguistic theories in their philosophical context.
