Ferber explores a phenomenology of pain and its relation to language, before providing a unique close reading of Johann Gottfried Herder's \u003cem\u003eTreatise on the Origin of Language\u003c\/em\u003e, the first modern philosophical text to consider language and pain, establishing the cry of pain as the origin of language. Herder also raises important claims regarding the relationship between human and animal, questions of sympathy and the role of hearing in the expression of pain. Beyond Herder, the book grapples with the work of other profound thinkers, including Martin Heidegger, Stanley Cavell, and André Gide, and finally, Sophocles, from them weaving new insights on the experience of pain, expression, sympathy, and hearing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIlit Ferber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eis Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Tel-Aviv University.
