Summary

An openness of self in the present finds language not as simply transparent and instrumental but as a necessity of the world at large—an obstacle as well as an advantage. It would be as much philosophical nonsense, however, to say that language precedes the world as it would be to say (as Wittgenstein so thoroughly deconstructed) that the world precedes language. Enter the second obsession of the critics of our work: the use of a language that is not immediately apparent as speech. Somehow our concern for one of the defining characteristics of literature, that it is written in words, has been misread as advocating a prior textuality through which the poet avoids direct contact with, again, “experience.” Just as it's been useful to consider what the I means in contemporary “expressivist” poetry, it is likewise instructive to examine its version of speech. In such work, a compacted persona speaks a kind of metaphorized testimonial to the validity of one's life and moral choices. It is as if a distant judge were being appealed to in modest tones intended to argue one's case in a voice just loud enough to be overheard. Propriety is the rule. Poetry is the life blood.

My Nietzsche - The Philosophy of...

Rafael Echeverría

Though it may seem paradoxical, this book is not about Nietzsche, strictly speaking. It is a book about men and women today, and the profound crisis that we are collectively experiencing. If Nietzsche emerges as a protagonist, it is only because I believe that no ther
thinker has explored this crisis with the depth that he has, and no one else has proposed a possible way out of the crisis quite as well as he has. Only in this sense might this book be "about" Nietzsche. Few philosophers have been as misunderstood and, I would add, completely misrepresented as Nietzsche. In our day and age, understanding the core of his work is one of the most urgent and important challenges we can and should pose for ourselves. Of all the philosophers of the modern era, none projects into the future
quite as deeply and powerfully as Nietzsche does. His philosophy opens the door to an entirely different future. It is like a ray of light illuminating a path that we cannot help but follow.

Bulgarian Made Easy - Lower...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Bulgarian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.
This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Bulgarian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.
In Unit 1 you will hear Bulgarian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Bulgarian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Bulgarian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Bulgarian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Bulgarian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

- Greeting
- Asking personal information
- Asking about people or things
- Talking about the current time and date
