For More than One Voice: Toward a Philosophy of Vocal Expression

Brilliantly translated from Italian into excellent and refined and nuanced english appropriate to the contents. Prof Cavarero has stunned me with her first chapter - the way she carefully reveals the subtle nuances in the original Hebrew texts that tell about the beginnings of the universe and the origins of speech. Essentially, she tells us that in the beginning was not so much "The Word" (of God) but "it is the sound and breath, as they reverberate in the word, which is in the closest relation with the Transcendence of God."
