Language Animal Taylor Charles
In seminal works ranging from Sources of the Self to A Secular Age, Charles Taylor has shown how we create possible ways of being, both as individuals and as a society. Those in the rational empiricist tradition--Hobbes, Locke, Condillac, and their heirs--assert that language is a tool that human beings developed to encode and communicate information. In his new book setting forth decades of thought, he demonstrates that language is at the center of this generative process.For centuries, philosophers have been divided on the nature of language.
Language does not merely describe; it constitutes meaning and fundamentally shapes human experience. In The Language Animal, Taylor explains that this view neglects the crucial role language plays in shaping the very thought it purports to express. The human linguistic capacity is not something we innately possess.
