Renaissance on Language - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 440 Language/Renaissance/Gadamer: (...) [it] retains (...) something artificial and adverse to the essence of language, if the contingency of natural concept formation is measured against the true order of essence and understood as merely accidental.(Cf. >Language/Ancient Philosophy). Such contingency is in fact brought about by the necessary and legitimate range of variation in which the human mind is able to articulate the essential order of things. That the Latin Middle Ages, despite the biblical significance of the human confusion of language on this side, did not really pursue the problem of language may be explained above all by the self-evident dominance of scholarly Latin, as well as by the continued influence of the Greek Logos doctrine. It was not until the Renaissance, when the layman became important and the national languages penetrated into scholarly education, that fruitful thought was given to their relationship to the inner word or "natural" vocabulary. Gadamer: One must be careful, however, not to immediately assume the question of modern philosophy of language and its instrumental concept of language. Cf. >Word of God/Nicholas of Cusa, >Language/Medieval Philosophy, >Language/Nominalism,._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
