How would a work written in a purportedly dead language, like \u003ci\u003eThe Iliad\u003c\/i\u003e, or penned in a foreign tongue be approached if deemed legible without structures such as meaning-bearing signs or grammatical rules?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA New Philosophy of Interpretation\u003c\/i\u003e charts a novel course in response to these questions, coining an original concept of discourse, or talk!, that Joshua Kates presents as more fundamental than language. In Kates' conception of discourse, writing and speech take shape entirely as events, situated within histories, contexts, and traditions themselves always in the making. Combining literary theory, literary criticism, and philosophy, to reveal a new perspective on discourse, Kates focuses on literary criticism, literary texts by Charles Bernstein and Stanley Elkin, and the philosophical writings of Stanley Cavell, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Donald Davidson and Martin Heidegger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ground-breaking study bridges the analytical\/continental divide, by working through concrete problems using novel and extended interpretations with wide-ranging implications for the humanities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Kates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350163627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350163621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Joshua Kates","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491675599103,"sku":"9781350163621","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62612f78-aec9-4f09-9199-792739df8338.jpg?v=1699452576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-new-philosophy-of-discourse-joshua-kates-9781350163621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
