Books of the week w/c 28.09.09
This week's two highlighted RSB Books of the Week are The Philosophy of Edmund Husserl by J.N. Mohanty (Yale University Press)
described in the publisher blurb as a "deeply insightful book [that]
traces the development of Husserl's thought from his earliest
investigations in philosophy... to his publication of Ideas in 1913" and On the Death and Life of Languages by Claude Hagege (again, Yale University Press)
which "seeks to make clear the magnitude of the cultural loss
represented by the crisis of language death" -- the rate of attrition
comes in at the loss of 25 languages each year.
