Book Synopsis The Philosophical Foundations of Humboldt's Linguistic Doctrines by : Martin L. Manchester
Download or read book The Philosophical Foundations of Humboldt's Linguistic Doctrines written by Martin L. Manchester and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilhelm von Humboldt s writings on language are a mixture of philosophical theorizing about mind and language on the one hand, and on the other hand, specialized studies of the most detailed sort of both the classical languages and languages which only in Humboldt s day were becoming known to European scholars, such as Sanskrit, Chinese, and native north and south American languages. This book endeavors to show that Humboldt s work on language is a coherent system of thought; to recapture and expose the systematic structure of assumption, hypothesis, argument and conclusion; and to assign many of the specific themes in his writing to a place within this structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study argues that Humboldt's philosophy of language should be seen as a coherent system in which he envisages the interaction of thought, perception and imagination. It underlines the significance of Humboldt's approach to his philosophical sources and his clarification and development of ideas embodied in those sources. The discussion brings into focus the thought of such eminent philosophers as Leibniz, Condillac, Herder, and Kant, who exercised a profound influence on Humboldt's thought.
Book Synopsis Humboldt: 'On Language' by : Wilhelm von Humboldt
Download or read book Humboldt: 'On Language' written by Wilhelm von Humboldt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-09 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilhelm von Humboldt's classic study of human language was first published in 1836, as a general introduction to his three-volume treatise on the Kawi language of Java. It is the final statement of his lifelong study of the nature of language, exploring its universal structures and its relation to mind and culture. Empirically wide-ranging - Humboldt goes far beyond the Indo-European family of languages - it remains one of the most interesting and important attempts to draw philosophical conclusions from comparative linguistics. This 1999 volume presents a translation by Peter Heath, together with an introduction by Michael Losonsky that places Humboldt's work in its historical context and discusses its relevance to contemporary work in philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science, and psychology.
Book Synopsis The Limits of State Action by : Wilhelm von Humboldt
Download or read book The Limits of State Action written by Wilhelm von Humboldt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is important both as one of the most interesting contributions to the liberalism of the German Enlightenment, and as the most significant source for the ideas which John Stuart Mill popularized in his essay On Liberty. Humboldt's concern is to define the criteria by which the permissible limits of the state's activities may be determined. His basic principle, like that of Mill, is that the only justification for government interference is the prevention of harm to others. He discusses in detail the role and limits of the state's responsibility for the welfare, security and morals of its citizens. Humboldt's special achievement in this work is to enlarge our sense of what a liberal political theory might be by his particularly sensitive grasp of the complexity of our attitudes to and our need of other people. Dr Burrow has based his translation on Coulthard's version of 1854. In an important introduction, he provides a most perceptive as well as scholarly guide to Humboldt's political thought.

Download or read book On Language written by Wilhelm Freiherr von Humboldt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-07-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an entirely new translation of one of the fundamental works in the development of the study of language. Published in 1836, it formed the general introduction to Wilhelm von Humboldt's three-volume treatise on the Kawi language of Java. It is the final statement of his lifelong study of the nature of language, and presents a survey of a great many languages, exploring ways in which their various grammatical structures make them more or less suitable as vehicles of thought and cultural development. Empirically wide-ranging - von Humboldt goes far beyond the Indo-European family of languages - it remains one of the most interesting and important attempts to draw philosophical conclusions from comparative linguistics.

Book Synopsis Humboldt, Worldview and Language by : James W. Underhill
Download or read book Humboldt, Worldview and Language written by James W. Underhill and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-23 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the loss of many of the world's languages, it is important to question what will be lost to humanity with their demise. It is frequently argued that a language engenders a 'worldview', but what do we mean by this term? Attributed to German politician and philologist Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), the term has since been adopted by numerous linguists. Within specialist circles it has become associated with what is known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis which suggests that the nature of a language influences the thought of its speakers and that different language patterns yield different patterns of thought.Underhill's concise and rigorously researched book clarifies the main ideas and proposals of Humboldt's linguistic philosophy and demonstrates the way his ideas can be adopted and adapted by thinkers and linguists today. A detailed glossary of terms is provided in order to clarify key concepts and to translate the German terms used by Humboldt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), , language: English, abstract: Culture is a value-network, which the expression of meaning is inevitably linked to language. Therefore, culture and language are inseparable. Yet, is language purely expressing our thoughts? In his book "On Language: The Diversity of Human Language Structure and its Influence on the Mental Development of Mankind", Wilhelm von Humboldt, a German philosopher, linguist, diplomat and educator, pointed out for the first time that, the nature of language influences the worldview of a nation (German: Weltanschauung). With regard to Humboldt’s obscure writing and pivotal doctrine, further elaboration will not be recounted in this paper. Only some relevant theories will be extracted to apply on the interpretation of the relationship between language and thought.
