But how do we find-more importantly, how do we "understand"-silence while immersed in the chattering of the digital age? Have we forgotten how to listen? Are we less prepared than ever for the ultimate silence that awaits us all? Mark C. Taylor's new book is a philosophy of silence for our nervous, buzzing present, a timely work for a world where noise is a means of distraction, domination, and control. Here Taylor asks the reader to pause long enough to hear what is not said, and to attend to what remains unsayable. But in his account, our way to "hearing" silence is to "see" it: Taylor explores variations of silence by considering the work of leading modem and postmodern visual artists, from Barnett Newman and Ad Reinhardt to James Turrell and Anish Kapoor. Drawing also on the insights of philosophers, theologians, writers, and composers, he weaves a rich narrative modeled on the Stations of the Cross. "We come from and return to silence; in between, silence is the gap, hesitation, interval that allows thoughts to form and words to emerge," he writes. His chapter titles suggest our positions toward silence--or rather, our pre-positions: Without. Before. From. Beyond. Against. Within. Around. Between. Toward. With. In. Recasting Hegel's phenomenology of spirit and Kierkegaard's stages on life's way, Taylor translates the traditional "Via Dolorosa" into a Nietzschean "Via Jubilosa" that affirms silence in the midst of noise, light in the midst of darkness"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Silence |xReligious aspects. |=^A671281 650 0 Silence (Philosophy) |=^A124936 650 7 SELF-HELP / General. |2bisacsh 650 7 Silence (Philosophy) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01118528 650 7 Silence |xReligious aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01118518 776 08 |iebook version : |z9780226693668 949 |i30372017371136 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s35.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5548110
