There has been much philosophical speculation on the potential failure of language as well as the search for a presentation of the GCGBPthing itselfGC[yen] beyond representation. Words Fail pursues the writings of a trio of philosophersGCoJacques Derrida, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, and Giorgio AgambenGCoas prime examples of how modern poetry presents us with a profitable vantage point from which to survey the ongoing struggle of living in a highly fragmented world. Alongside these thinkers, this book looks specifically at the form of spirituality that is given shape by this intersection of poetics and theological-philosophical reflectionGCoall of which offer rich suggestions about our spiritual nature.
