Lazarus Geiger
Lazarus Geiger (1829–1870) was a German philosopher and philologist who took a historical-comparative approach to questions around colour perception and colour terminology. He was one of the first people to raise the debate around whether colour perception is anatomically determined or a matter of cultural convention. He developed a universal sequence in the acquisition of basic colour terms which he arrived at through analyses of the colour terminologies of ancient texts.
==Life==
He was born on May 21, 1829 to a Jewish family in Frankfurt-on-Main, and died there on August 29, 1870. His father was Solomon Michael Geiger, the eldest brother of Abraham Geiger. Eliezer Geiger began the study of Hebrew at a very early age, under the guidance of his father. Not originally devoted to a literary career, he spent several years as a bookseller's apprentice at Mayence, but soon showed a great dislike for business life. His thirst for knowledge overcame all obstacles. He returned to Frankfurt, graduated from the gymnasium, and then went to the universities of Marburg, Bonn and Heidelberg to study classical philology.
In 1851 he took up his permanent abode in his native town, and devoted himself principally to linguistic and philosophic studies. His first publication bears the title "Uber Umfang und Quelle der Erfahrungsfreien Erkenntniss" (Frankfurt-on-the-Main, 1865). But as early as 1852 he had begun his chief work, to which his whole life was devoted: "Ursprung und Entwickelung der Menschlichen Sprache und Vernunft" (vol. i. Stuttgart, 1868). From 1861 until his sudden death in 1870, he occupied a position as teacher in the Jewish high school (Philanthropin) of Frankfurt.
Geiger began publishing the principal results of his studies in the more popularly written "Der Ursprung der Sprache" (Stuttgart, 1869, 2d ed. 1878). Before he was able to finish his great work, however, he suddenly developed a heart problem which ended his life. The second volume was published in a fragmentary condition by his brother Alfred Geiger (ib. 1872; 2d ed., 1899). The papers he had read on different occasions were also published by Alfred Geiger under the title "Zur Entwickelungsgeschichte der Menschheit" (ib. 1871; 2d ed., 1878), and were translated into English by David Asher ("History of the Development of the Human Race," London, 1880). Geiger's bust has been placed in the entrance-hall of the public library of his native town.
