The book emphasizes the significance of language in distinguishing humans from animals and explores the philosophical and metaphysical aspects of language and its connection to the divine. Through examples from botany, astronomy, and other fields, the book illustrates how the study of language reveals the order and purpose in the universe. Max Muller's work sheds light on the evolution of scientific thought and the role of language in shaping our understanding of the world.","brand":"HardPess Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67839375081776,"sku":"9781313283199","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/lectures-on-the-science-of-language-1","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
