{"product_id":"the-other-side-of-language-a-philosophy-of-listening","title":"The Other Side of Language A Philosophy of Listening by Gemma Corradi Fiumara","description":"Our philosophy is grounded in only half a language, in which the power of discourse is deployed while the strength of listening is ignored. We inhabit a culture that knows how to speak but not how to listen; so we mistake warring monologues for genuine dialogue.\u003cbr\u003eWestern philosophies have consistently endowed expressive language with the power of comunication, reducing the unspeaking, non-expressive Other to a void, a negation.\u003cbr\u003eIn this remarkable book Gemma Corradi 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 the 'silent' silence of Western thought with the rich openness of an authentic listening.","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144285139134,"sku":null,"price":74.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/0592\/5054\/files\/20973113482335.jpg?v=1783680987","url":"https:\/\/bookshopnow.com\/products\/the-other-side-of-language-a-philosophy-of-listening","provider":"Book Shop Now","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
