In this ground-breaking study on the nature of philosophy, Jan Zwicky demonstrates how much of potential philosophical significance is lost it our notion of meaningful language is constrained by narrow concepts of analytic rigor. Her aim is not to dismiss the role of analysis in philosophy; rather she strives to augment its resources and thereby give to philosophy a voice with grate range and integrity.
Two parallel texts, on facing pages, run through this unique volume. The left-hand text is Zwicky's exploration of the definition of a work as "philosophy," and a discussion of the notion of lyric. The right- hand text is "a scrapbook" of quotes from other authors, snippets of musical text, poems, and a handful of b&w photos. She presents the whole as "a new sort of overview" of the work of Wittgenstein, and an enquiry into Freud's concept of "primary process."
Highly original in its thought and presentation, Zwicky's discussion makes an exciting contribution to contemporary philosophy, forging new connections and expanding boundaries.
