Meer over het boek

Exploring the tension between corporeal understanding and textual interpretation, Richard Terdiman examines the interplay of bodies and language. He delves into the epistemological foundations of the Enlightenment and Postmodernity, drawing insights from the works of eighteenth-century encyclopedist Denis Diderot and contemporary philosopher Jacques Derrida. This analysis reveals how these thinkers navigate the complex relationship between material existence and narrative, offering a profound commentary on the nature of knowledge and representation.
