The Shock of the Same

An Anti-Philosophy of Clichés

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first examination of the cliché as a philosophical concept. Challenging the idea that clichés are lazy or spurious opposites to genuine thinking, it instead locates them as a dynamic and contestable boundary between 'thought' and 'non-thought'.
