Solar Branka :mw:<p>"What supplies meaningfulness to my experience for Husserl is not language but the act of perceiving particular phenomena as universals - an act which is supposed to occur independently of language itself. For Husserl, in other words, meaning is something which pre-dates language: language is no more than a secondary activity which gives names to meanings I somehow already possess."</p><p>Literary Theory<br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TerryEagleton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TerryEagleton</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Phenomenology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Phenomenology</span></a></p>
Solar Branka :mw:<p>"But what if I were to hear someone at the next pub table remark 'This is awfully squiggly handwriting!' Is this 'literary' or 'non-literary' language?
