More about the book
Exploring the fringes of language, this work delves into the intersection of ethical life and hermeneutic theory, drawing on influential texts from Homer to Heidegger. It examines how experiences such as poetry, music, and silence transcend conventional concepts, revealing a deeper understanding of judgment and freedom. By engaging with Kant's ideas on aesthetic experience, the author posits that these encounters with language can lead to a radical freedom that informs ethical life, ultimately contributing to a notion of "original ethics."
