Investigations into the Origin of Language and Consciousness

Pages : 220
Book Description
Tran Duc Thao, a wise and learned scientist and an eminent Marxist philoso pher, begins this treatise on the origins of language and consciousness with a question: "One of the principal difficulties of the problem of the origin of consciousness is the exact determination of its beginnings. Precisely where must one draw the line between the sensori-motor psychism of animals and the conscious psychism that we see developing in man?"

Excerpt from On the Origin and Ramifications of the English Language: Preceded by an Inquiry Into the Primitive Seats, Early Migrations, and Final Settlements of the Principal European Nations There are two circumstances which have misled all modern philologists, as well English as German, and which, until they are put on a proper footing, will continue to mislead all future inquirers, which may be stated as follows: - 1. That the barbarous nations which overthrew the Roman Empire in the fifth century, and which are denominated by the historians of the middle ages the Northern Hive, came from Scandinavia, and that Scandinavia was situated in the north of Europe, and limited to the modern kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.
