Abstract

This essay explores the multifaceted nature of language by comparing and integrating the insights of Iain McGilchrist, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Noam Chomsky, and Jewish Kabbalistic tradition. Each framework provides a distinct lens: McGilchrist offers a neuropsychological theory based on hemispheric asymmetry; Wittgenstein evolves from logical structure to language as lived use; Chomsky proposes a universal grammar encoded in the brain; and Kabbalah perceives language as the sacred architecture of reality. Through comparison and synthesis, this paper aims to articulate a deeper theory of language as a spiritual, neurological, and philosophical phenomenon.
