By Wen Smith
Like many “language buffs,” I recall no time when my world was without words. It was my fortunate lot to follow their beguiling tunes until toys turned into tools, and I became a wordsmith—writer and teacher. The essays in this book are digressions on the light side of that career, a continuing game of word play, a motley cluster of errant shots with my grammar wedge, the twists and turns of things on the tip of my tongue.

By Daniel Deleanu
Inspired by such "philosophers of the Word" as Plato, Zeno the Stoic, Philo of Alexandria, John the Evangelist and Ludwig Wittgenstein, as well as by the works of C.G.Jung, Daniel Deleanu continues in his new book the logosophistic adventure started in Principles of Logosophism and The Logoarchetype. Logosophistic Investigations is written in the same "logosophistic English", an original metalanguage with archetypal roots. The author makes English foreign to itself while returning to its unconscious sources. In this new volume, Daniel Deleanu "rewrites" Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus from a logosophistic perspective, at the same time concentrating on a heuristic exploration of the fascinating realm of the Logos.

By Daniel Deleanu
Daniel Deleanu's new book continues the logosophistic investigation started in Principles of Logosophism. The Logoarchetype is written in the same "logosophistic English", an original metalanguage, which makes English foreign to itself while returning to its unconscious archetypal roots. The author links C. G. Jung's notion of archetype with the archaic concept of Logos, as it appears in Plato, Zeno, Philo of Alexandria, The Gospel of John, the philosophic work of the Romanian poets Mihai Eminescu and Lucian Blaga, and in all the major religions, from the primitive to the modern ones. Deleanu's original concept of logoarchetype searches out hidden etymologies, lost meanings and unconscious senses of "being". Daniel Deleanu breaks all the boundaries of human knowledge with this extremely innovative scholarly system, called logosophism, whose most important achievement is the discovery of the logoarchetype.

The divide between the North Indians and the South Indian Dravidians was created by the two British-initiated theories of the ‘Aryan invasion of India’ (AII) and the Indo-European family of languages (IE). Both the theories – AII and IE – were mischievously engineered by the British, with their colonial and missionary agenda, guided by their world-known notorious policy, ‘Divide and Rule’. According to the AII, Aryans invaded India in about 1500 B.C. and got settled in North and forcibly pushed dark-skinned Dravidians to South. Aryans brought Sanskrit and composed the Vedas. The Dravidian – Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam – are the native languages of India, not Sanskrit. With abundant historical irrefutable evidence, it has been established that the alleged invading Aryans were originally from Aryavarta (India) who had gone overseas earlier than 1800 B.C. for trade, and had established their Vedic kingdoms in several countries. Even Greece was colonized by the Indo-Aryans. When in trouble in about 1500 BC, some of them attempted to return to India, the land of their ancestors. The rest were culturally absorbed. The returning Aryans were mistaken as invaders because they were traveling in armored horsedriven chariots. It was their return to, not invasion of India. Because of long cohabitation between Sanskrit-speaking Aryans and Europeans, as the result of Indian colonization, Sanskrit influenced several European languages, particularly Greek and Latin. Resulting philological resemblances prompted Sir William Jones to theorize the IE, that Sanskrit and European languages have a common origin. It has been proved that Sanskrit and European languages do not have a common origin and that there is significant resemblance between Sanskrit and the Dravidian languages, much more than between Sanskrit and European languages.
