The Other Side of Language: A Philosophy of Listening

The Other Side of Language: A Philosophy of Listening





Western philosophies have consistently endowed expressive language with the power of communication, reducing the unspeaking, non-expressive Other to a void.

In this remarkable book, Gemma Fiumara redresses the balance by looking at the other side of language--listening. Synthesizing the insights of Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Gadamer, among many others, she puts forward a powerful argument for the replacement of "silent" silence of Western thought with the rich openness of an authentic listening.
