This paper focuses on Dugald Stewart’s essay On the Tendency of Some Late Philological Speculations (1810), in which the Scottish philosopher opposes the linguistic and philosophical theories expressed by the renowned English philologist John Horne Tooke in his Diversions of Purley (1786, 1805). In order to reject Tooke’s materialism and to restate the independence of metaphysics from any philological interference, Stewart outlines an unusually modern theory of language, which broadens the boundaries of semantics and enhances the role of the listener.

In order to reject Tooke’s materialism and to restate the independence of metaphysics from any philological interference, Stewart outlines an unusually modern theory of language, which broadens the boundaries of semantics and enhances the role of the listener.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
