This book charts the trajectory of Heidegger's concept of silence by focusing on its relation to truth as the unconcealedness of being/beyng and language as disclosive sonorous saying. Wanda Torres Gregory concludes with critical reflections on the later Heidegger and proposes alternatives to his signature claims concerning silence.
Wanda Torres Gregory is professor of philosophy at Simmons University.
