In diesem Buch untersucht der deutsche Philosoph und Philologe Lazarus Geiger die historische Entwicklung der menschlichen Gesellschaft und die Rolle der Sprache dabei. Er legt dabei besonderen Fokus auf die Entwicklung der deutschen Sprache und ihre Rolle in der Kulturgeschichte Europas. Dabei kommt er zu dem Schluss, dass Sprache und Kultur untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind und dass die Geschichte der Sprache die Geschichte der Menschheit widerspiegelt.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
