Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical origins of language and systematically describes how words function as names for mental affections. The author argues that humans begin by seeing resemblances and only later distinguish differences, proposing that concepts are not innate ideas but are rather formed through repetition and analysis of sensations. The book delves into the complex ways in which names are combined and dissected, examining the role of grammar, symbols of number, and compound words. Through a detailed examination of language and logic, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of how we name and organize our thoughts.
