An Essay on the Context and Formation of Wilhelm von Humboldt's Linguistic Thought
This essay combines the study of Humboldt's sources with a critique of the treatment of this subject in most studies of Humboldt and his linguistic thought. One crucial issue is the date of his early ‘Über Denken und Sprechen’, which is our first evidence of his mature thinking about language. This text is conventionally dated 1795, thus ruling out that Humboldt might be indebted to the anthropo-linguistic philosophy that he explored in Paris a f…

Pufendorf and Condillac on Law and Language
This essay argues that Pufendorf conceived the principles of natural law against the rationalism and innatism of the 17th century, and that Condillac similarly formulated a conception of the human origin of language, both of them thus securing open and human foundations for the two primal institutions of law and language, and also making all citizens free agents in the ordering of communal living

Philosophy of Language
The tenor of eighteenth-century philosophy was anti-Cartesian, and the primary vehicle of this reaction was the philosophy of language. In the rationalist view of the seventeenth century, speech served only as the inert outward means for the communication of the prefabricated mental discourse of ideas. In theory as well as in practice, language constituted an epistemological obstacle because it was an easy victim of the seductive inducements of e…
Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge: Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge
Condillac's Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge, first published in French in 1746 and offered here in a new translation, represented in its time a radical departure from the dominant conception of the mind as a reservoir of innately given ideas. Descartes had held that knowledge must rest on ideas; Condillac turned this upside down by arguing that speech and words are the origin of mental life and knowledge. He argued, further, that language …

The History of Linguistics and Professor Chomsky
This paper argues that Chomsky’s version of the history of linguistics is fundamentally false. With evidence drawn from recent reviews and some additional information, it argues that the term ‘Cartesian’ has no historical justification in regard to the linguistic theory embodied in the 1660 Port-Royal Grammar. The paper then examines the history of linguistics from 1660 to the Romantics, a period in which Chomsky finds much scattered evidence for…
