| Résumé : |
Certain questions are basic to the human condition: how we imagine the world, and ourselves and others within it; how we confront the constraints of language and the limits of our own minds; and how we use imagination to give meaning to past experiences and to shape future ones. These are the questions James Boyd White addresses in *The Edge of Meaning*, exploring each through its application to great works of Western cultureÔÇö*Huckleberry Finn*, the *Odyssey*, and the paintings of Vermeer among them. In doing so, White creates a deeply moving and insightful book and presents an inspiring conception of mind, language, and the essence of living. ** |
