The Art of Speech

En savoir plus sur le livre

The Art of Speech presents a dynamic path of practice that leads to an experience of the Word as a living, healing, and creative power. Helping to deliver Western intellectual speech from what Artaud described as "shriveled throats" and "monstrous talking abstractions," Dawn Langman brings to life the spiritual realities from which a true Art of Speech arises. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner and pioneered initially in the German language by Marie Steiner, Langman illuminates this art form through the genius of the English language. The author builds a bridge between mainstream research into the intrinsic nature of speech and the levels of spiritual cognition that led to Steiner's insights. She asserts that speech and language can no longer be reduced to an arbitrary collection of abstract symbols.
