The present book is a collection of scholarly reflections on the
theme of humanism from an integrational linguistic perspective. It
studies humanist thought in relation to the philosophy of language
and communication underpinning it and considers the question
whether being a 'humanist' binds one to a particular view of
language. The contributions to this volume explore whether
integrational linguistics, being informed by a non-mainstream
semiology and adopting a lay linguistic perspective, can provide
better answers to contentious ontological and epistemological
questions concerning the humanist project - questions having to do
with the self, reason, authenticity, creativity, free agency,
knowledge and human communication. The humanist perspectives
adopted by the contributors to this volume are critical insofar as
they start from semiological assumptions that challenge received
notions within mainstream linguistics, such as the belief that
languages are fixed-codes of some kind, that communication serves
the purpose of thought transfer, and that languages are
prerequisites for communication.
