Synopsis

Irony Decoded offers a comprehensive exploration of irony, a powerful tool in communication, rhetoric, and cultural studies. The book investigates irony's historical roots, its diverse functions in contemporary language and media, and its broader cultural significance. It highlights how irony, far from being a mere stylistic device, shapes meaning, mediates social interactions, and drives cultural change. One intriguing fact is that the correct identification of irony is crucial to the maintenance of social harmony. The book traces irony's evolution from ancient rhetoric to modern literary theory, examining the contributions of key thinkers. It emphasizes that irony's effectiveness lies in creating a gap between surface appearance and underlying reality, prompting critical reflection.

 


 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with the core concepts of irony such as verbal, situational, and dramatic irony. It then delves into practical applications in literature, film, and everyday conversation before exploring the cultural implications of irony in shaping identity and fostering critical thinking.

    In this groundbreaking work, I challenge the metaphysical foundations that have shaped Western thought since ancient Greece. Following Nietzsche's call to question the interpretations of Plato and Aristotle—what I designate as the "metaphysical ontology"—I propose a radical alternative: the ontology of language.
    For centuries, we have been faithful to metaphysical assumptions that now compromise both our capacity to give meaning to our lives and the ways we relate to others. Western civilization has reached an impasse, and it is imperative that we step back and forge a new path.
    This work examines the fundamental axes of the observer and demonstrates that human beings are linguistic beings who invent themselves through language.
    I developed the concept of metaphysical ontology to distinguish the dominant Western tradition from my proposal of a non-metaphysical ontology—one that opens new possibilities for human transformation, learning, and coexistence. This is my invitation to reimagine what it means to be human.
