Ludwig Noiré

Ludwig Noiré (born March 26, 1829 in Alzey ; † March 27, 1889 in Mainz ) was a German philosopher and high school teacher in Mainz. He was inspired by Schopenhauer, Spinoza and Lazarus Geiger .

Life

During his studies in 1846 he became a member of the Allemannia Gießen fraternity .

Philosophy of language

Noiré recognized a genuinely human ability in language skills and developed the theory of working together as the origin of language skills. Noiré tried to show that language created the prerequisites for thinking. Ernst Cassirer criticized the empirical evidence on which Noiré sought to base his speculative theory as having finally failed. In a similar way, he described the use of tools as a unique selling point for humans.
