Very few Joyce critics know enough about these philosophers and therefore often miss their influence on Joyce's great work. Joyce embraces these philosophic companions to lead him through the underworld of history with all its repetitions and resurrections, oppositions and recombinations. We as philosophical readers of the \u003ci\u003eWake\u003c\/i\u003e go along with them to meet everybody and in so doing are bound \"to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy\" of our souls the \"uncreated conscience\" of humankind. Verene builds his study on the basis of years of teaching \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e side by side with Cusanus, Bruno, and Vico, and his book will serve as a guide to readers of Joyce's novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Phillip Verene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810133318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810133310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Donald Phillip Verene","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072799666431,"sku":"9780810133310","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8031487-d969-4af7-940b-2c4688f24ddc.jpg?v=1685444007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/james-joyce-and-the-philosophers-donald-phillip-verene-9780810133310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
