Study Architecture

“Remaining silent” about a matter about which one has much, possibly too much, to say is an ancient set-up. In literature, it has produced several key ways of “drawing a line” between what is said and what cannot or should not be said: aposiopesis, anacoluthon, ekphrasis. In silence, the audience turns its mind to a zone where consensus must be felt without being confirmed, but the logic of this is Baudelaire’s: “If we should by chance understand each other, we would never agree.” Consensus — the essence of the collective mind is what Vico meant by “common mental language.”1
