Preview A New Philosophy of Discourse: Language Unbound
Description:
What would happen if structures, forms, and other stand-alone entities thought to comprise our intellectual toolkit—words, meanings, signs—were jettisoned? How would a work written in a purportedly dead language, like The Iliad, or penned in a foreign tongue be approached without structures such as meaning-bearing signs and grammatical rules?From these questions the original concept of 'talk!' is introduced as an innovative new method for interpreting texts and speech, combining literary theory, literary criticism, philosophy, and philosophy of language. With a focus on humanistic, literary texts, critics including, Derek Attridge, Mary Poovey, and Charles Altieri are drawn alongside philosophers, Stanley Cavell, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Martin Heidegger to reveal the possibilities of a new discourse for a variety of people working in and studying the humanities today. In this method, language and texts are thought of as active ‘events’, replete with allusions to history, context and tradition that are always in the making. Structural analyses are found wanting and exposed for their copious limitations in this ground-breaking study which bridges the analytical/continental divide, placing rigorous inquiry at the heart of its humanistic approach.
