Sentiment: POSITIVE
Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society.
Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers.
All human language draws its nature and value from the fact that it both comes from the Word of God and is chosen by God to manifest himself. But this relationship is secret and incomprehensible, beyond the bounds of reason and analysis.
All human knowledge takes the form of interpretation.
The idea is that the object has a language unto itself.
Language should find itself in the physical world, and not end up locked in an idea in somebody's head.
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
But when, in the first setting out, he takes it for granted without proof, that distinctions found in the structure of all languages, have no foundation in nature; this surely is too fastidious a way of treating the common sense of mankind.
Common sense is judgment without reflection, shared by an entire class, an entire nation, or the entire human race.
Language is a form of human reason, which has its internal logic of which man knows nothing.
