A Philosophical Discourse Concerning Speech Conformable to the Artesian Principles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162613987)

""A Philosophical Discourse Concerning Speech Conformable to the Artesian Principles"" is a book written by Geraud de Cordemoy, a French philosopher, in the 17th century. The book is a philosophical treatise on the nature of language and speech, and it explores the relationship between language and thought. De Cordemoy argues that language is not simply a tool for communication, but is in fact an essential aspect of human thought and consciousness. He suggests that language is a system of signs and symbols that allow us to represent and manipulate our thoughts, and that the structure of language reflects the structure of our minds. The book is organized into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of language and speech. De Cordemoy begins by discussing the nature of language itself, and argues that it is a system of signs that are arbitrary and conventional. He then goes on to explore the relationship between language and thought, and suggests that language is necessary for the development of complex thought processes. Throughout the book, de Cordemoy draws on the principles of the Artesian philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of reason and logic in understanding the world. He argues that language is a crucial tool for reasoning and understanding, and that it is essential for the development of human knowledge and understanding. Overall, ""A Philosophical Discourse Concerning Speech Conformable to the Artesian Principles"" is a complex and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of language and speech. It is a seminal work in the history of philosophy, and remains an important text for anyone interested in the relationship between language, thought, and consciousness.1668. The author treats no more of the knowledge of ourselves, but of the means to know others, and to be known by them. He shows that this means is speech, he explains all the effects thereof and discovers the causes. Cordemoy carefully inquires into it all, it borrows from the body or the soul.
