Kerstans Kanon - Sprache & Kommunikation

Kerstans Kanon is an attempt to create a common collection of knowledge that may be considered "cultural canon". This collection is limited by a very germano-centric perspective, however, others may find this collection interesting nonetheless or specifically therefore.
Kerstan divides his canon into three literary categories:
- History and Philosophy (https://hardcover.app/@Freule/lists/kerstans-kanon-philosophie-geschichte)
- Language and Communication (https://hardcover.app/@Freule/lists/kerstans-kanon-sprache-kommunikation)
- History and Philosophy (https://hardcover.app/@Freule/lists/kerstans-kanon-mathematik-naturwissenschaft)
Beneath the article where this canon was published, a lively discussion developed, where many more works were suggested to be added. I have collected many here: https://hardcover.app/@Freule/lists/kerstans-kanon-leserempfehlungen
