Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A beginning, especially as embodied in much modern thought, is its own method, Edward Said argues in this classic treatise on the role of the intellectual and the goal of criticism. Distinguishing between origin, which is divine, mythical, and privileged, and beginning, which is secular and humanly produced, Said traces the ramifications and diverse understandings of the concept of beginning through history. A beginning is a first step in the intentional production of meaning and the production of difference from preexisting traditions. It authorizes subsequent texts--it both enables them and limits what is acceptable. Drawing on the insights of Vico, Valery, Nietzsche, Saussure, L'vi-Strauss, Husserl, and Foucault, Said recognizes the novel as the major attempt in Western literary culture to give beginnings an authorizing function in experience, art, and knowledge. Scholarship should see itself as a beginning--as a uniting of theory and practice. Said's insistence on a criticism that is humane and socially responsible is what makes Beginnings a book about much more than writing: it is about imagination and action as well as the constraints on freedom and invention that come from human intention and the method of its fulfillment.…

Condition: Good. : En este clásico reeditado, Edward Said explora las ramificaciones y diversas interpretaciones del concepto de 'comienzo' en la historia, ofreciendo valiosas perspectivas sobre el papel del intelectual y el objetivo de la crítica. Said distingue entre 'origen', que es divino, mítico y privilegiado, y 'comienzo', que es secular y producido por el ser humano. A través de las ideas de Vico, Valery, Nietzsche, Saussure, Lévi-Strauss, Husserl y Foucault, Said reconoce la novela como el principal intento en la cultura literaria occidental de dar a los comienzos una función autorizadora en la experiencia, el arte y el conocimiento. La erudición debe verse a sí misma como un comienzo, como una unión de teoría y práctica. La insistencia de Said en una crítica humana y socialmente responsable es lo que hace de 'Beginnings' un libro sobre mucho más que escribir: se trata de la imaginación y la acción, así como de las limitaciones a la libertad y la invención que provienen de la intención humana y el método de su cumplimiento.
