Close readings of works such as the medieval grail legends, The Merchant of Venice, Goethe's Faust, and Poe's \"The Gold Bug\" reveal how discourse has responded to the dissociation of symbol from thing characteristic of money, and how the development of increasingly symbolic currencies has involved changes in the meaning of meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePursuing his investigations into the modern era, Shell points out significant internalization of economic form in Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger. He demonstrates how literature and philosophy have been driven to account self-critically for a \"money of the mind\" that pervades all discourse, and concludes the book with a discomforting thesis about the cultural and political limits of literature and philosophy in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Shell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801846935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801846939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 6.04w x 0.64d","brand":"Marc Shell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637151613183,"sku":"9780801846939","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a3201ae-119c-47cc-a979-a7f5e8d181a2.jpg?v=1765114256","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/money-language-and-thought-marc-shell-9780801846939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
