Summary: | How did the concept of language come to dominate modern intellectual history? In Language Alone, Geoffrey Galt Harpham provides at once the most comprehensive survey and most telling critique of the pervasive role of language in modern thought.

Through a provocative reassessment of major thinkers on the idea of language-Saussure, Wittgenstein, Derrida.
