{"product_id":"listening-thinking-being-lisbeth-lipari-9780271063324","title":"Listening, Thinking, Being: Toward an Ethics of Attunement","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough listening is central to human interaction, its importance is often ignored. In the rush to speak and be heard, it is easy to neglect listening and disregard its significance as a way of being with others and the world. Drawing upon insights from phenomenology, linguistics, philosophy of communication, and ethics, \u003ci\u003eListening, Thinking, Being\u003c\/i\u003e is both an invitation and an intervention meant to turn much of what readers know, or think they know, about language, communication, and listening inside out. It is not about how to be a good listener or the numerous pitfalls that stem from the failure to listen. Rather, the purpose of the book is, first, to make readers aware of the value and importance of listening as a fundamental human ability inextricably connected with language and thought; second, to alert readers to the complexity of listening from personal, cultural, and philosophical perspectives; and third, to offer readers a way to think of listening as a mode of communicative action by which humans create and abide in the world. Lisbeth Lipari brings together historical, literary, intercultural, scientific, musical, and philosophical perspectives, as well as a range of her own personal experiences, to produce this highly readable analysis of how \"the human experience of being as an ethical relation with others . . . is enacted by means of listening.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisbeth Lipari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271063327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271063324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.55h x 6.26w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 789","brand":"Lisbeth Lipari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056721522943,"sku":"9780271063324","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f2d11f9-1bf2-49a6-8615-277cdf9c2af6.jpg?v=1685042892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/listening-thinking-being-lisbeth-lipari-9780271063324","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
