riumara seeks to redress an imbalance in our culture and our philosophy - an imbalance caused by our neglect of the 'listening' side of language in favour of the power of discourse.

The Other Side of Language Summary

The Other Side of Language: A Philosophy of Listening by Gemma Corradi Fiumara

We are inhabitants of a culture that knows how to speak but not how to listen. Against a tradition that has endorsed the power of discourse, where warring monologues are mistaken for genuine dialogue, Gemma Corradi Fiumara examines and reveals the other side of language - listening.

The Other Side of Language Reviews

'The delicate but ... very sure-footed sensibility and psychological penetration of the author ... wins from a thoroughly rigorous philosophical analysis a host of ideas and suggestions for a philosophy of life and even for psychology itself - a rare combination.' - Brian McGuinness

'This vast project shows a rare mastery in the domain of linguistic philosophy and especially in the area of encounter between analytic philosophy and hermeneutics.' - Paul Ricoeur
