"In this book, Charles Taylor explains linguistic holism to people who believe language
needs to be thought of as bits of information. According to one influential view of
language, one that originated with Hobbes, Locke, and Condillac, language serves to
encode information and to communicate it. This theory has been rendered more sophisticated
over the last two centuries, but it still gives a central place to the encoding of
information. The thesis of Taylor's new book is that this view neglects crucial features
of our language capacity. Sometimes language serves not just to encode information,
but also shapes what it purports to describe. This language is more than merely 'descriptive;'
it plays a 'constitutive' role."--Provided by publisher
