* Supra, p. 145.
LANGUAGE AND MEN 313 the Germans were superior to the other branches of the Teutonic stock he laid much weight on the purity of their language as compared with those that had been blended with the Celtic and Latin. Men, he argued, are shaped by language more than language by men. The spiritual development {GeistesbiUung) of a group loses both unity and force when alien elements, of un- familiar coimotation, enter freely into its speech.^ Particularly destructive of a truly nati...onal life is the incorporation of a dead language into the usage of a people. Words and idioms that have ceased to repre- sent the thoughts of Hving men will inevitably intro- duce a morbid element into the spirit (Geist) of those that restore them to service. Fichte finds in this doc- trine the ground of his conviction that the Germans are of a sounder national life than the Latinized peoples of Europe.
Language, however, while of high significance in the concept of the nation, was not, in Fichte's analysis, the essence of the matter.
