دانلود کتاب Seeing Silence – دیدن سکوت

توضیحات

Mark C. Taylor explores the many variations of silence by considering the work of leading visual artists, philosophers, theologians, writers, and composers.

To hear silence is to find stillness in the midst of the restlessness that makes creative life possible and the inescapability of death acceptable. So writes Mark C. Taylor in his latest book, a philosophy of silence for our nervous, chattering age. How do we find silenceand more importantly, how do we understand itamid the incessant buzz of the networks that enmesh us? Have we forgotten how to listen to each other, to recognize the virtues of modesty and reticence, and to appreciate the resonance of silence? Are we less prepared than ever for the ultimate silence that awaits us all?

Taylor wants us to pause long enough to hear what is not said and to attend to what remains unsayable. In his account, our way to hearing silence is, paradoxically, to see it. He explores the many variations of silence by considering the work of leading modern and postmodern visual artists, including Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, James Turrell, and Anish Kapoor. Developing the insights of philosophers, theologians, writers, and composers, Taylor weaves a rich narrative modeled on the Stations of the Cross. His chapter titles suggest our positions toward silence: Without. Before. From. Beyond. Against. Within. Between. Toward. Around. With. In. Recasting Hegels phenomenology of spirit and Kierkegaards stages on lifes way, Taylor translates the traditional Via Dolorosa into a Nietzschean Via Jubilosa that affirms light in the midst of darkness.

Seeing Silence is a thoughtful meditation that invites readers to linger long enough to see silence, and, in this way, perhaps to hear once again the wordless Word that once was named God.

مارک سی. تیلور با در نظر گرفتن آثار هنرمندان برجسته تجسمی، فیلسوفان، الهی‌دانان، نویسندگان و آهنگسازان، انواع مختلف سکوت را بررسی می‌کند.

شنیدن سکوت به معنای یافتن است. سکون در میان بی قراری که زندگی خلاق را ممکن می سازد و گریزناپذیری از مرگ را پذیرفتنی می کند. مارک سی تیلور در آخرین کتاب خود می‌نویسد، فلسفه سکوت برای عصر عصبی و پر حرف ما. چگونه سکوت را پیدا کنیم و مهمتر از آن، چگونه می‌توانیم در میان هیاهوی بی‌وقفه شبکه‌هایی که ما را درگیر می‌کنند، درک کنیم؟ آیا فراموش کرده‌ایم که چگونه به سخنان یکدیگر گوش دهیم، فضایل حیا و سکوت را بشناسیم و طنین سکوت را قدر بدانیم؟ آیا ما کمتر از همیشه برای سکوت نهایی که در انتظار همه ماست آماده ایم؟
