商品簡介
Seventeen essays written by eminent literary critics and philosophers offer criticism grounded in the "ordinary" or natural language we all speak, based on the ordinary language philosophy deriving particularly from Wittgenstein, and rejecting the "dead end" of contemporary critical theory, so much of which condemns the ordinary and familiar. Essay themes range from Genesis and Don Quixote to Proust, Henry James, Heidegger, and Frost, as well as the movie Moonstruck . Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
