Philosophy In A New Key by Susanne K. Langer
A Study in the Symbolism of Reason, Rite, and Art
This groundbreaking work explores the profound role of symbolism in human thought and communication, challenging traditional philosophical perspectives by emphasizing the importance of non-discursive forms of expression such as art, music, and myth. It argues that these symbolic forms are not merely decorative or supplementary to language but are fundamental to the way humans understand and interact with the world. By examining the nature of symbols and their impact on human cognition, the book offers a fresh perspective on the nature of meaning, creativity, and the human experience.
