Synopsis

"International Language and Science" explores the compelling arguments for adopting a universal language to facilitate international scientific collaboration and understanding. Authored by a distinguished group of scholars including Wilhelm Ostwald, Louis Couturat, Otto Jespersen, Richard Lorenz, Leopold Pfaundler von Hadermur, and F. G. Donnan, this work delves into the practical and theoretical considerations of integrating an international language into the scientific community.

Published in 1910, this collection of essays highlights the potential benefits of a common linguistic tool, examining how it could streamline communication, reduce translation barriers, and foster greater cooperation among scientists from diverse backgrounds. The authors address various aspects, from the structure and design of international languages like Esperanto to their potential impact on scientific progress and global unity. This book offers valuable insights for linguists, scientists, and anyone interested in the history and future of international communication.
