Linguistics, Anthropology and Philosophy in the French
Enlightenment 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 his careful
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 an unusually broad range of writers and ideas
including Leibniz, Wolff, Herder and Humboldt. This study places
history of language philosophy within the broader context of the
history of ideas, aesthetics and historical anthropology and will
be of interest to scholars working in these disciplines.
