Critique of Pure Verbiage: Essays on Abuses of Language in Literary, Religious and Philosophical Writings 1st edition
Ronald Englefield
The author aims to show how the purpose of language, which is to communicate and illuminate, has been perverted to show-off, give false assurance and over-simplify. He draws examples of misuse by writers, some of them major figures such, as Eliot and Kant, on literature, religion and philosophy.
