Reviews

""In Search of Speech lays the groundwork for the recovery of meaningful speech and experience amidst the babble of our times by a kind of open-eyed backtracking into surprising (or perhaps not-so-surprising) resources in the tradition both solemn and light: lectio divina, liturgy, poetry, fiction, humor... The result is a compelling, engrossing, mist-evaporating, page-turning intellectual achievement that speaks deeply to the humanity of those with ears to hear."" --Chris Hackett, Saint Meinrad Seminary, USA ""This is a truly original work. Drawing deeply from the wells of Husserl and Heidegger, it is anchored in the pairs of intelligence and affection (Befindlichkeit); recognition (connaissance) and theoretical knowledge (savoir); and object and event. A book with enormous interest for philosophers and theologians alike."" --Robyn Horner, Australian Catholic University
