Fusing speculative realism, analytical and linguistic philosophy
this book theorises the fundamental impact the experience of
reading has on us. In reading, language provides us with a world
and meaning becomes perceptible. We can connect with another
subjectivity, another place, another time. At its most extreme,
reading changes our understanding of the world around us. Metanoia-
meaning literally a change of mind or a conversion-refers to this
kind of new way of seeing. To see the world in a new light is to
accept that our thinking has been irrevocably transformed. How is
that possible? And is it merely an intellectual process without any
impact on the world outside our brains? Tackling these questions,
this book mobilizes discussions from linguistics, literary theory,
philosophy of language, and cognitive science. It re-articulates
linguistic consciousness by underlining the poetic, creative moment
of language and sheds light on the ability of language to transform
not only our thinking but the world around us as well.
