Money, Language, and Thought: Literary and Philosophical Economies from the Medieval to the Modern Era by: Shell, Marc
Hardcover. Berkeley, CA, University of California Press, 1st, 1982, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 219 pages, hardcover. Cover boards are clean and bright, as are interior pages. Binding is solid. B&W illustrations are all grouped together at the end of the volume. In this book, the author explores the interactions between linguistic and economic production as they inform discourse from Chretien de Troyes to Heidegger. He demonstrates how literature and philosophy have been driven to account self-critically for a "money of the mind" that pervades all discourse, and concludes the book with a discomforting thesis about the cultural and political limits of literature and philosophy in the modern world. Clean copy. Record # 34091
