| Summary: | The three eras of image is the intelectual will of José Luis Brea, one of the most singular, subtle and lucid voices of contemporary thinking. Written in a fair and balanced style, this text accounts for the particular attention to language –not just to the ’what’, but specifically to the ’how’ -that distinguished Brea’s critical project. This concern brings him closer to literature, and lets us state that he was, above all, a ’writer’, since writing was not, for him, just a transparent mean for sharing knowledge, but a place where what wants to be said can be in-corporated. Brea is, in this sense, an “inhabitant of language” who, to use Roland Barthes’ expression, radically transforms the reason of things into how to write them”.
