Our philosophy is grounded in only half a language, in which the power of discourse is deployed and the strength of listening ignored. We are inhabitants of a culture that knows how to speak but not how to listen, so constantly mistakes warring monologues for genuine dialogue. In this book, the author seeks to redress that balance by examining the other side of language - listening. Synthesizing the insights of Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Gadamer, among many others, puts forward a powerful argument for the replacement of the "silent" silence of traditional Western thought with the rich openness of an authentic listening.
