Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. The stunning debut of Jonathan Ree, the Simon Schama of philosophy. I See A Voice is a joy to read: bold, crisp in style, effortlessly erudite, slyly humorous, passionate and humane. Roy Porter, Independent Ree writes with such clarity and elegance that his prose is a pleasure to read. His exploration of the world of the deaf demonstrates that their tragic deprivation of one sense illumines our understanding of the others. His study of sign language gives us unparalleled insight into the nature of spoken language this book is not only a fascinating history of the belated correction of our misperceptions of the deaf, but a demonstration that philosophy really can advance our understanding of the world and ourselves. Anthony Storr, Literary ReviewSome philosophers take difficulty and try to make it simple, but Ree takes what is apparently mundane and undeniably everyday and makes it hard and wonderful. Reading his book, I had to sit at a table, with a pen and notebook, jotting down things I had never thought about before asking myself how it was that I had lived with this commonsense all my life, yet never been in possession of its meanings Ree treats philosophy the way Adam Phillips treats psychoanalysis: he scrutinises the everyday and the commonplace and charges them with significance. Psychoanalysis and the writings of Freud flood into his text, along with the poetry of Wordsworth, the writings of Proust, his own poignant memories of things past. The melancholy richness of his writing soaks up the culture of the late twentieth century: its emphasis on subjectivity and uncertainity; its sense of the individual; its receptivity to other forms; its confessionalism and belief in self scrutiny in his passionate, fascinating philosophical history of language, deafness and the senses.
