This is not written for people who have a month to get a draft of their thesis done and sixty thousand dollars in student loans and girl or boy trouble and are going to be 33 in a few short weeks and feel their life slipping through their fingers. It is a work of philosophy and a poem, in Derrida's usual style; it is not a work of scholarship, for people who want facts and citations. Not "material." But if those people have the patience and can remember how they felt when they read Condillac (or hell, Ulysses)in more relaxed, youthful times--or perhaps, if they come to it in later years, as evening reading alongside the Condillac they wrote on decades ago, now in front of a geothermal furnace with a synth-gnac, they may find some joys of the impressionistic ilk here. There are great observations, of course, that you come upon siftwise--the role of "frivolity" in Condillac's work; his effort to leap out into language study by positing invisible physical laws that linguistic "connection" or analogy may follow, on the model of the recently discovered gravity &c.; his "two metaphysics," one of linguistic systems and the other of linguistic practice and play. And so Derrida's book serves as a kind of scriptural gloss, to be sung at the opening of the Condillacian salon. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In 1746 the French philosophe Condillac published his Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge , one of many attempts during the century to determine how we organize and validate ideas as knowledge. In investigating language, especially written language, he found not only the seriousness he sought but also a great deal of frivolity whose relation to the sober business of philosophy had to be addressed somehow. If the mind truly reflects the world, and language reflects the mind, why is there so much error and nonsense? Whence the distortions? How can they be remedied? In The Archeology of the Frivolous , Jacques Derrida recoups Condillac's enterprise, showing how it anticipated--consciously or not--many of the issues that have since stymied epistemology and linguistic philosophy. If anyone doubts that deconstruction can be a powerful analytic method, try this. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
