In Speaking of Silence in Heidegger, Wanda Torres Gregory
critically analyzes Heidegger's thoughts on silence. Arguing that
silence about silence is a guiding principle in his sparse and
often reticent words, Torres Gregory sets out to decipher their
elusive meanings. Charting the trajectory of Heidegger's
reflections, from Being and Time to On the Way to Language, she
finds that he develops his ideas of silence in increasingly closer
relations to his also evolving ideas of truth as the
unconcealedness of being/beyng and language as disclosive sonorous
saying. Torres Gregory distinguishes between (human, primordial,
and primeval) forms of silence and (linguistic, pre-linguistic, and
proto-linguistic) levels at which silence can occur in relation to
sonorous speech. While the book focuses on these inner conceptual
dynamics, the author remains mindful of Heidegger's ties to
National Socialism and clarifies how his theoretical assumptions
allow for oppressive silencing. The book concludes with critical
reflections on the later Heidegger's thinking of silence and
proposes alternatives to his claims concerning the sound beyond
sounds, the metaphysics of mystical silence, the uniquely
linguistic essence of the mortals, and the loud idle talk in the
age of modern technology.
