Excerpt from Ru Ro Outline of Universal Language
Man is a tool-using animal, and the tools that he uses are constantly being improved. The vehicles of transportation and of communication, the railroad, the steamer, the electric car, the automobile. The air ship, the telegraph, the telephone, the wireless mes sages, the new inventions in agricultural implements and in the machinery of production, all mark stages in the progress of civilization.
One of these tools, susceptible of improvement is language itself.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating history of the quest for a universal language, a dream that has captivated thinkers for centuries. From the ancient Romans who sought to impose Latin throughout their empire to the Renaissance scholars who pondered the potential of reviving Greek, the author delves into the diverse approaches to language unification. The book delves into the philosophical and practical challenges of creating a new language, examining the a priori and a posteriori methods and analyzing the attempts of Urquhart, Dalgarno, and Bishop Wilkins. The author examines the reasons why past attempts to create a universal language have failed and ultimately proposes a new language, "R0," constructed on the a priori principle. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of language, its power to shape thought and culture, and the potential for a truly universal language to unite the world.
