The book delves into early-modern philosophy's deep concerns regarding language, particularly through John Locke's critique. It examines the anxieties surrounding linguistic representation faced by influential thinkers like Montaigne, Bacon, and Descartes. Dr. Dawson argues that philosophical advancements and flaws in linguistic theory led to doubts about words' ability to accurately convey meaning and their potential to mislead. This exploration redefines our comprehension of early-modern epistemology, morality, and politics, revealing language as a significant barrier to knowledge and societal cohesion.
