«Abhandlung über den Ursprung der Sprache» is the philosophical essay by Johann Gottfried Herder, published by Reclam in a paperback edition (175 pages).
Herder argues that language is not a simple means of transmitting knowledge, but an essential human capacity that conditions the way we think and know. Reflection on language thus ceases to be an auxiliary of grammar or rhetoric and becomes a philosophical task.
It belongs to Reclams Universal-Bibliothek, no. 8729, edited by Hans Dietrich Irmscher, with text in German. It reproduces in facsimile the original Berlin title page of 1772 and includes a bibliography (p. 135).
Reading work for students of philosophy and linguistics interested in eighteenth-century thought and the philosophy of language.
