The Discourse of Conflict: Nonverbal semiotics and discursive practice in Northern Ireland's Troubles 1977-82 by Warren Hately (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The Discourse of Conflict focuses on the "prison war" between Republican inmates and their British captors, and the subsequent "dirty" protest and hunger strikes, to deal with two problems central to contemporary philosophy: the unacknowledged bias of structuralist theory towards linguistic signs and the lack of a coherent theorisation of social conflict.

ON WHAT LANGUAGE IS: And how it is possible by Fred Jaeger (1 Review)    Price verified 9 hours ago

An original review of how verbal meaning is effected (through the iterative uses of sounds and marks) as that relates to conceptions of the world, to human behaviour and to the human self.

Language is possible only as wholly and thoroughly integrated with the conduct of human life. A massively rich understanding of language then emerges, akin to the ancient concept of the Logos. On What Language Is sets out a wide range of ...

For this reason, the Lockdown and the obsessive social distancing have been grossly disproportionate reactions. Second, the Coronavirus panic is accelerating a set of changes that might otherwise have taken a decade or a generation, and these are mainly to the advantage of ordinary people. The move ...
