This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Jacques Rousseau the writer-philosopher was a practicing musician and theorist for years before publication of his first Discourse, but scholars have neglected these fertile, inexhaustible ideas because they were either unavailable in a critical edition or viewed as standing outside the aegis of his system of thought. This graceful translation remedies both those failings by bringing together the Essay with a comprehensive selection of the musical writings. Many of the latter are responses to authors like Rameau, Grimm, and Raynal, and a unique feature of this edition is the inclusion of writings by these authors to help establish the historical and ideological context of Rousseau's writings and the intellectual exchanges of which they are a part.

WOKDS NOTHING IN THEMSELVES. "Credibilius est, quia praesens est eis, quantum id capere possunt, Lumen Eationis.etern-e, ubi hsec immutabilia yera conspiciunt."--S. Atjqustin, Set. i. 4. "it may lead us a little," says Locke, "towards the original of all our notions and knowledge, if we remark how great a dependence our words have on common sensible ideas; and how those which are made use of to stand for actions and notions quite removed from sense, have their rise from thence, and from obvious sensible ideas are transferred to more abstruse significations, and made to stand for ideas that come not under the cognizance of our senses." So far we may seem to have been adducing a crowd of illustrations in support of this statement: for we have traced the germinal development of language from the seed and root of onomatopoeia to the various ramifications of metaphor, and have seen convincing reason to infer the primary origin of all words from sensible ideas. Essay on Human Understanding, in. i. 5. Are we then obliged to give in our adherence to the sensational philosophy, and to believe that " Nature, even in the naming of things, unawares suggested to men the originals and principles of all their knowledge?" Are we forced to accept the dogma that "there is nothing in the intellect, which has not previously existed in the sense?" Such are the questions which must now be considered, because these are the conclusions usually drawn from the premisses, which have been hitherto receiving our support. The discussion of them cannot be considered a digression, because it will lead us at least to recognise the existence of problems which are of the profoundest importance, the examination of which mut always bear reference to the facts...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions to this volume reflect the state of the art in the renewed discussion on the origin of language. Some of the most important specialists in the field - life scientists and linguists - primarily examine two aspects of the question: the origin of the language faculty and the evolution of the first language. At stake is the relation between nature and culture and between universality and historical particularity as well as cognition, communication, and the very essence of language.
