Compare On the Origin of Language by Jean-jacques Rousseau, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. | On the Origin of Language by Jean-jacques Rousseau, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
