Edition Notes
Translation of: Quando il verbo si fa carne.
"Originally published in Italian in 2002, 'When the word becomes flesh' provides a compelling contribution to the understanding of language and its relation to human nature and social relationships. Adopting Aristotle's definition of the human being as a linguistic and political animal, Paolo Virno frames the act of speech as a foundational philosophical issue - an act that in its purely performative essence ultimately determines our ability to pass from the state of possibility to one of actuality: that is, from the power to act to action itself."--Page 4 of cover.
Includes bibliographical references.
Translated from the Italian.
