About This Book

L'autore propone una vasta indagine sul simbolo, analizzandone origine e sviluppo e il ruolo nelle principali forme di comunicazione umana: linguaggio, religione, scrittura, diritto, leggenda e arte. Collega i fenomeni simbolici alla psicologia — attenzione, inerzia mentale, avversione al lavoro intellettuale — e alla sociologia del potere e della giustizia, mostrando come fraintendimenti simbolici possano generare riti, conflitti e ingiustizie. Il saggio combina osservazioni teoriche e riflessioni applicate, segnala questioni trascurate dalla ricerca e suggerisce che lo studio del simbolismo può offrire rimedi pratici alle debolezze cognitive della civiltà moderna.
