great commentary, thank you for putting this out

[@Tercemanuzzaman]

I guess it is a need to differentiate “the way of understanding one another” and “the language”. Because here we can observe that language can be a subcategory/specie of understanding one another so the understanding of language nowadays is nothing but a “helper instrunment” to understand each other better.

Why did Rousseau argue that the progression of the sciences and arts has caused the corruption of virtue and morality?
