Synopsis
This work explores the place granted to language within metaphysical and theological hierarchies traditional to Western culture, where it reflects a deeply embedded ambivalence in the Western tradition toward material and temporal conditions in general. The author uses the writings of T.S. Eliot, Samuel Beckett, and Paul Celan to show how immediate this history of ambivalence remains. The language-centred interest of each writer focuses on theologies that are mystical and negative. A negative approach to language is almost always central to the mystical desire for a state beyond multiplicity, temporality and embodiment. The author argues that the stances toward language of these three writers register their struggle to locate values that endow life with meaning, and the possibility of translating these values into historical reality., This book examines an ambivalence to language deeply rooted in Western culture, as seen in the writings of Eliot, Beckett, and Celan, and in the context of age-old metaphysical biases against body, history, time, and the mundane as these continue to shape our system of values and moral commitments..

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
