Steiner G. Extraterritorial: Papers on Literature and the Language Revolution

New York: Atheneum, 1976. — 226 p. — ISBN: 􀄇689-70534-4.it is a commonplace to note that there has been a "language revolution." The idea that the coding and transmission of ordered information is crucial to the definition of man is now focal, not only in philosophy, in logic, in social theory, and in the study of the arts, but also as a central presence in the life sciences. The intense energies of spirit, the technical force which linguistics has shown over these past decades are both the stimulus and the consequence of a larger re-direction. The articles and papers put together in this book deal with related aspects of this general movement. They consider certain philosophic and literary elements in this radical return—a renovation which is at the same time a re-experiencing—of the image of the human person as uniquely related to the act of speech, to the Logos.Extraterritorial (1969).
