Taalvermoë en originariteit

Language is not to be found in dictionaries or theories, but in speech itself. My quest is to understand what happens in speech. Language is not merely a means of communication but the manner in which one becomes oneself in one’s own body. Language is a means to self-realisation and thus to originarity. This position is argued by tracing a path via the speech events, the subject, poetry as originary speech, the philosophy of language, the complexity of language as a phenomenon, dualism and its origin, the living body as a victory over dualism, and the voice — to human understanding.
