Beyond Words: Philosophy, Fiction, and the Unsayable - Hardcover

by Timothy Cleveland (Author)

Beyond Words argues that some works of fiction and poetry are especially, perhaps even best, suited to expanding our awareness and understanding into the nature of things otherwise unsayable and unconceived. Such literary works do philosophy, showing us something that a theoretical--scientific or philosophical--discourse cannot literally say.
