Symbolism, Its Meaning and EffectCapricorn Books, 1959 - 88 стор. “In this brilliant analysis, the author not only considers the general problem of symbolism, but is also concerned with symbolism in relation to the problem of perception, to our capacity for knowledge of “the outside world. Professor Whitehead shows that symbolism plays a dominant part in the way in which all higher organisms function and exist, and that it is potentially the cause of all progress, and the potential cause of fatal error. On reviewer said, in support of this point, “[This book is] a brilliant analysis of symbolism’s concepts and importance in today’s tense and unpredictable state of affairs.”-Publisher. |
