Produktbeschreibung
Symphony of Silences invites the reader to become an
active interlocutor in the unfolding of a complex and
multilayered philosophical journey. On an analytical
level, the book ventures to give a thorough critique
of contemporary ecological ethics. It develops the
hypothesis that others a word whose careful
specification occupies the treatise as a whole are
often being marginalized and silenced in ecological
ethics. Parallel to this critique, the author
searches for a writing style that may undermine this
discourse of silencing, a writing style both succinct
and porous. He examines a dialectics of concurrent
saying and listening, of showing and impartial
discovering, as well as a dynamic synthesis of the
specific and the general. These inquiries are
embedded into a narrative. As the argument develops,
a story unfolds, the account of a journey that begins
atop a large mountain, goes off to sea, and steers
towards a surprising, unforeseen haven. The narrative
itself is woven tightly into the emerging argument
and helps to attune the complex philosophical themes
here examined to the life that each of us goes on
living, from one day to the next.
