　　In the attempt to make good one of the desiderata in Bacon's

Advancement of Learning, a cohort of seventeenth-century

philosophers, scientists, schoolmasters, clergymen and virtuosi

attempted to devise artificial languages that would immediately

represent the order of thought. This was believed directly to

represent the order of things and to be a universal characteristic

of the human mind. Language, Mind and Nature is a 2007 text which

fully rec***tructs this artificial language movement. In so doing,

it reveals a great deal about the beliefs and activities of those

who sought to reform learning in seventeenth-century England.

Artificial languages straddle occult, religious and

proto-scientific approaches to representation and communication,

and suggest that much of the so-called 'new philosophy' was not

very new at all. This study broke important ground within its

field, and will interest anyone concerned with early modern

intellectual history o***ith the history of linguistic thought in

general.

In the attempt to make good one of the desiderata in Bacon's Advancement of Learning, a cohort of seventeenth-century philosophers, scientists, schoolmasters, clergymen and virtuosi attempted to devise artificial languages that would immediately represent the order of thought. This was believed directly to represent the order of things and to be a universal characteristic of the human mind. Language, Mind and Nature is a 2007 text which fully rec***tructs this artificial language movement. In so doing, it reveals a great deal about the beliefs and activities of those who sought to reform learning in seventeenth-century England. Artificial languages straddle occult, religious and proto-scientific approaches to representation and communication, and suggest that much of the so-called 'new philosophy' was not very new at all. This study broke important ground within its field, and will interest anyone concerned with early modern intellectual history o***ith the history of linguistic thought in general.
