| Abstract: | The distinction between apophatic and cataphatic listening is defined and analyzed. Apophatic listening is more or less devoid of cognitivist claims, whereas cataphatic listening involves cognition and questioning. Many of the papers in this volume are discussed along the continuum determined
by these two types of listening. Haroutunian-Gordon’s claim is that every act of listening involves the listener in questioning,
thus listening is solely cataphatic. We discuss apophatic listening as a limiting ideal case and conclude that not every act of listening involves a question. Though in acknowledging
this limiting case we disagree with Haroutunian-Gordon’s assertion, we are indebted to her work and believe her model forms
an important part of any comprehensive theory of listening.
