Description
Perhaps this book will be understood only by someone who has himself already had the thoughts that are expressed in it-or at least similar thoughts.
-So it is not a textbook.
-Its purpose would be achieved if it gave pleasure to one person who read and understood it.
The book deals with the problems of philosophy, and shows, I believe, that the reason why these problems are posed is that the logic of our language is mis-understood. The whole sense...

In this historic 1971 debate, two of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers discuss whether there is such a thing as innate human nature.
In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War and at a time of great political and social instability, two of the world's leading intellectuals, Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, were invited by Dutch philosopher Fons Elders to debate an age-old question: Is there such a thing as "innate" human nature...

Se dedica a poner de manifiesto cómo la ideología se agazapa en ella a través del estudio de cientos de variadísimas noticias de las que se analiza los cambios acaecidos en los últimos años, especialmente los que conciernen a la forma a través de la cual la lengua envuelve y presenta la realidad. También a reseguir de qué maneras...

¿Qué relación tenía Foucault con la literatura? Se sabe que era un lector apasionado y erudito, que la biblioteca de su madre le reveló a los clásicos franceses y grecolatinos, y que su admiración por Faulkner lo llevó a hacer un viaje por tierras faulknerianas. Más allá de estas notas biográficas, también se sabe que las lecturas literarias atravesaron toda su producción teórica. Es por eso que resulta clave entender cómo pensaba la...

When we use language, we presuppose many different things. Context is another name for these presuppositions. But it also can be the name of all these different presuppositions ordered in a certain way. This study of context focuses on the differences since many studies of context focus excessively on usage found in the sciences and in everyday observations. Other uses such as promising, giving directions, evaluating (i.e., ranking) all sorts of things...

The recent turns to affect and aesthetics in the humanities and the interpretive social sciences have been productive for reflecting on the crucial role sensibility plays in the constitution of the social. However, these scholarly developments construct their interventions by dismissing the attention to language that was central to the linguistic and cultural turns of previous eras and by claiming that language is an obstacle to experiencing the reality...

Teniendo en cuenta que la filosofía es una experiencia que siempre está de camino, como gustaba decir Jaspers, tal vez nuestra lengua esté especialmente preparada para una filosofía con un carácter distinto al que se ha realizado en otras lenguas y vayamos con el hablar castellano de camino a otro pensamiento, a otra elaboración reflexiva con sus riquezas y nutrientes propios. Creemos que los estudios que se contienen en este libro pueden refrendar...

Distinguished essayist and literary critic George Steiner explores the power and presence of the unseen in art There is a philosophical school of thought that believes the presence of God in art, literature, and music-in creativity in general-is a vacant metaphor, an eroded figure of speech, a ghost in humanity's common parlance. George Steiner posits the opposite-that any coherent understanding of language and art, any capacity to communicate meaning...

En El can de Kant David Johnson establece un diálogo con la enigmática idea de Borges de que la traducción es consustancial a las letras, a partir de una reconsideración de la estructura temporal de la traducción que pone en tela de juicio la relación entre lo necesario y lo accidental, lo universal y lo singular. De ese modo, Johnson conceptualiza la lógica subterránea del archivo borgeano de acuerdo con las principales preocupaciones del...

The definitions of our words are changing and we aren't aware of it. Those who do know are using this information to their advantage. This is their tactic to train people how to act and think. They are manipulating the unsuspecting to shift their beliefs without them knowing it. They maneuver us through three processes: Changing the definitions of words, interpreting writings from long ago using today's definitions, and Leaving out information. How...

The earth is home for countless species and has been for many millions of years. Man is probably one of the most recent arrivals, but in a remarkably short time has so changed the world to make its future uncertain.
It has been only about 400 years since this change appeared when science, using language differently, became a significant part of our intellectual make-up. At the same time language, in the hands of writers, became the manipulator of...

Pensar no es un acto que suceda naturalmente. No es un punto de partida, sino un punto de llegada. Este libro aborda el fenómeno del pensar como acto creativo, revolucionario. Cuando pensamos rompemos los límites de la razón, destruimos las categorías, es decir, no pensamos bajo una única y rígida lógica. Pensamos de múltiples formas simultáneamente; por ejemplo, podemos pensar en paralelo y de manera distribuida; hacemos saltos de pensamiento,...
