Eucosmy is a philosophical auxlang growing on cognitive linguistics. It has five main goals, according to the creator Escha[1]:
- To found a universal literary (especially philosophico-scientific) community to which all human beings, whichever whose native language is, have an equally easiest access.
- To lay the indispensable foundation for a thorough world literature & world philosophy.
- To emancipate the human mind from the irremediable hamperings of the traditional languages: mal-terminology (such as “socialism”), ambiguity (such as “monopoly” in economics), babelism (such as “left”/”right” in politics), sex-partiality & gender-exclusivity (such as “man”, “Mrs.”, “her”, “wife”) etc.
- To enrich the human spirit by assimilating all the positive elements of all the ethnic languages into a common pool.
- To contribute to the cause of world liberty: free trade, free migration and even anarchical peace.
