Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Explores how violence structures language and the writing of literature and philosophy.Within the violence our societies must confront today exists a dimension proper to language. Anyone who has been through the educational system, for example, recognizes how language not only shapes and mod…els us, but also imposes itself upon us. During the twentieth century, this system revealed how language can condemn one to a certain death. In The Vocation of Writing, philosopher Marc Crepon explores this dimension of language, convinced that the node of all violence pertains first to language and how we make use of it. Crepon focuses on Kafka, Levinas, Singer, and Derrida, not only because each rose against commandeering language in order to warn against the next massacres, but also because their work affirms the vocation of writing-that which makes literature and philosophy the final weapon for unmasking the violence and hatred that language bears at its heart. To affirm the vocation of writing is to turn language against itself, to defuse its murderous potentialities by opening it toward exchange, responsibility, and humanity when the latter fixes the other and the world as its goals. Explores how violence structures language and the writing of literature and philosophy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
