Fiumara seeks to redress an imbalance in our culture and our philosophy - an imbalance caused by our neglect of the `listening' side of language in favour of the power of discourse.
First published in 1990. Our philosophy is grounded in only half a language, in which the power of discourse is deployed and the strength of listening ignored. We are inhabitants of a culture that knows how to speak but not how to listen, so we constantly mistake warring monologues for genuine dialogue. In this remarkable book, Gemma Corradi Fiumara seeks to redress that balance by examining the other side of language - listening. Synthesising the insights of Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Gadamer, among many others, she puts forward a powerful argument for the replacement of the `silent'' silence of traditional Western thought with the rich openness of an authentic listening.
