It delves into the pathos of language, where affections in the soul are symbolized through language. Aristotle and others suggest that language is experienced before any sense can be voiced, making the pathos of language a question of how language affects the subject of speech. The book examines how language shapes the subject of speech and responds to questions of language. It begins with readings of Augustine's investigations into language and mind and Husserl's descriptions of passive synthesis. It then traces the resonance of these interventions in selected literary experiments by Georges Bataille, Franz Kafka, and Maurice Blanchot, which recall Husserl and Augustine while exceeding the restrictive fictions of phenomenological science. By highlighting the echoes across confessional, philosophical, and fictional writings, the book exposes how speech occurs in the passive voice and affects any claim to experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 606g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 158 x 236 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781438491974\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kristina Mendicino","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46841988382970,"sku":"9781438491974","price":64.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1731078341502_book.jpg?v=1731139250","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/passive-voices-on-the-subject-of-phenomenology-and-other-figures-of-speech-9781438491974","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
