Epea Pteroenta, or The Diversions of Purley

In this famous work, John Horne Tooke explores the nature of language and its relationship to thought. He argues that words are not simply arbitrary labels, but are based on real, observable phenomena in the world. His insights into the workings of language have influenced linguists and philosophers for centuries, and make this book a must-read for anyone interested in these fields.
