On the Origin of Language

Autor Jean-Jacques Rousseau Traducere de John H. Moran Autor Johann Gottfried Herder Traducere de Alexander Gode
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mar 1986
This volume combines Rousseau's essay on the origin of diverse languages with Herder's essay on the genesis of the faculty of speech. Rousseau's essay is important to semiotics and critical theory, as it plays a central role in Jacques Derrida's book Of Grammatology, and both essays are valuable historical and philosophical documents.
