El miembro fantasma del logos: Sobre El fantasma de la deíxis de Francisco J. Fernández. Marbella, Ediciones Al-gorfa, 2024, 216 pp.

Abstract

The Phantom of Deixis, by Francisco J. Fernández, is a collection of nineteen philosophical fragments that blend conceptual rigor with literary finesse. The author reflects on the role of deictics—words like «I», «here», or «now»—as elements that resist the formal abstraction of language. Inspired by Agustín García Calvo, Fernández defends the demonstrative and embodied value of language against its theoretical institutionalization. Deixis emerges as a «phantom limb» that unsettles the logic of linguistic systems. Through a variety of philosophical genres, the author dismantles traditional academic rigidity. Each text functions as an altarpiece that activates thought in its living and situated dimension. Taken together, the book proposes a philosophy that is embodied, critical, and open to the event of speaking.
