The pioneering linguist Benjamin Whorf (1897--1941) grasped the relationship between human language and human thinking: how language can shape our innermost thoughts. His basic thesis is that our perception of the world and our ways of thinking about it are deeply influenced by the structure of the languages we speak. The writings collected in this volume include important papers on the Maya, Hopi, and Shawnee languages as well as more general reflections on language and meaning.

One significant contribution to scence from the linguistic point of view may be the greater development of our sense of perspective. We shall no longer be able to see a few recent dialects of the Indo-European family, and the rationalizing techniques elaborated from their patterns, as the apex of the evolution of the human mind, nor their present wide spread as due to any survival from fitness or to anything but a few events of history - events that could be called fortunate only from the parochial point of view of the favored parties.

【在相关领域的地位】语言和人类认知思维关系的初代思考。世界被认为作为一个文化（语言）上的预先解读好的世界存在。 【对语言研究的影响】语言限制和规范人类思维可能性。其中一个语言研究的应用是读写认识能力是否具有扩展人思维能力的作用。

作者有自己的思维，但基本属于Mill+Carnap连累的受害者。不推荐。John Mill 拿nominalism去呼应realism的做法本身是失败的；Carnap对grundlagen更是一窍不通。从读者的角度来说，这本书反而更接近于Bradley 1885年“from appearance to reality”的换角度翻版：毫无意义。
