Description
This book is a long overdue survey of all the effects of language on the three levels of evolution, system and discourse - and of what thinkers have written about them. From Plato's critique of Sophistry to Bacon's idola fori, Humboldt's 'language is energy', and finally Wittgenstein's 'language games.
