The World of Silence’ explored the intricate relationship between silence and speech. In this book, Picard crafts a masterpiece that remains relevant even in our hyper-connected world.
Max Picard’s philosophy of silence, presence, and resistance to conformity finds resonance with contemporary discussion on mindfulness, minimalism, and the pursuit of meaning. His insights remind us of the importance of slowing down, seeking solitude, and engaging with the world in a thoughtful and intentional manner. As a philosopher and writer whose contributions to the fields of aesthetics, philosophy of religion, and existentialism have left an indelible mark on intellectual discourse.
M J Penny was commissioned to create a revised edition of the publication, and to include translation, footnotes and foreword.
