Dr. Morbius, the hero of
Forbidden Planet was an expert in philology.
This is the study of language and all its contents, development, changes, and effects. In the movie, Morbius was the only survivor of an ancient curse. Until he himself, finally fell.
Language is itself the ultimate repository of all knowledge, the ultimate repository of what it is that makes us human. We manipulate knowledge through language.
One could reasonably make the assumption that the study of language would be the study of all knowledge. Language could be called the technology of knowledge.
One could, ultimately, go too far, and end up as a sort of language-mystic, deifying that which is only a tool, not a god.
