HOLLOWS of EXPERIENCE
2010
This essay is divided into two parts, deeply intermingled. Part I examines not only the origin of conscious experience but also how it is possible to ask of our own consciousness how it came to be. Part II examines the origin of experience itself, which soon reveals itself as the ontological question of Being. The chief premise of Part I chapter is that symbolic communion and the categorizations of language have enabled human organisms to distinguish between themselves as actually existing entities and their own immediate experience of themselves and their world. This enables them to reflect upon abstract concepts, including “self,” “experience,” and “world.” Symbolic communication and conc…
John Lehmann’s New Writing: The Duty to Be Tormented
2011
John Lehmann’s magazine New Writing, launched in 1936, may be said to give literary historians a slow-motion image of the evolution of artistic consciousness in one of the most turbulent periods of the twentieth century.

Summary The novel “A Man who Knew the Snake Words” by an Estonian writer Andrus Kivirähk (Andrus Kivirähk, Mees, kes teadis ussisõnu, translated from Estonian by Zane Balode, Riga, “Lauku Avīze”, 2007, 335., in Latvian - 2011) is a parabolic work, close to the genre of fantasy, and, at the same time, a work built in the tradition of a historic novel which rouses contemplation about the vital power of culture in a situation when at least a single its representative has survived. The people created by the writer lives in the forest; it is an ancient and wonderful civilisation. They milk wolves, they are friends with bears, they know the language of animals, snake words (witchcraft), they have…
