This book argues that a primitive society is formed on the basis of
kinship ties while a civilized society is formed on the basis of
linguistic communication. When humans communicate with each other
through language, they extend the distance of communication. The
extension of communication distance helps expand communities.
States are gradually formed. This means that as these communities
grow, they become too large to be supported only by the ties of
kinship. The use of language and the development of linguistic
communication underlies the establishment of governments, the
introduction of laws, the holding of elections, and the flourishing
of history, philosophy, literature, art, religion, etc. This book
presents a new theory about the importance of language in the
growth of the states.
