This book is a philosophical examination of the stages in our journey from hominid to human. Dealing with the nature and origin of language, self-consciousness, and the religious ideal of a return to Eden, it has a philosophical anthropology approach. It provides an account of our place in nature consistent with both empiricism and mysticism.
JOHN V. CANFIELD is Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto, author of Wittgenstein: Language and World and The Looking-Glass Self, and editor of The Philosophy of Wittgenstein (in fifteen volumes) and Philosophy of Meaning, Knowledge and Value in the Twentieth Century.
