More about the book
The book explores the Romantic concept of wholeness as a key epistemological source for the Prague Linguistic Circle's understanding of structure, particularly among its Russian members. It examines their gradual departure from organicist metaphors within a distinct intellectual context, contrasting it with Saussure's theories. The narrative highlights the complexities and challenges faced during this intellectual transition, providing insight into the evolution of linguistic thought.
