Hall argues that the postmodernist flirtation with Kierkegaard ignores the existential import of his thought. \u003ci\u003eWord and Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e offers a novel interpretation of Kierkegaard's conception of the self, according to which spirit is essentially linked to the speech act. In an extended interpretation of Kierkegaard's \u003ci\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/i\u003e, Hall uses insights from Austin, Wittgenstein, Polanyi, and Poteat to fill out and explicate Kierkegaard's views in the context of modern language philosophy. The enriched concept of the speech act represented by the Hebrew idea of \u003ci\u003edabhar\u003c\/i\u003e frames Hall's critique of irony, romanticism, Don Giovanni, Faust, the demonic, music, and ultimately, postmodernisim in a Kierkegaardian mode. The result of the modern suspicion of speech, Hall concludes, is a demonic, musical spiritlessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.84 x 8.8 x 6.84 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 20, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53111638327603,"sku":"9780253327529","price":96.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/1a3pHwHMDX9780253327529.webp?v=1772748535","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/word-and-spirit-a-kierkegaardian-critique-of-the-modern-age-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
