{"product_id":"borella-jean-the-broken-ring-9798892801591","title":"The Broken Ring","description":"This work is regarded as the founding text of a new epistemology and may be read as an introduction to The Crisis of Religious Symbolism by the same author. It begins with a historical survey of theories of symbolism stretching from antiquity to the modern period, moves on to a critique of contemporary linguistic theory, and then turns to a ground-breaking structural analysis of the symbolic sign that uncovers a necessary but too long elided metaphysical dimension. In sum, it presents a theory of the symbol that seeks to restore, intelligibly, and in a way that transcends contemporary deconstructions, the ancient doctrines of both East and West. But make no mistake: this is philosophy, not ethnology. The symbolic sign is the nodal point of metaphysical thought, the place where nature becomes culture and culture becomes nature; that is, where being and meaning are reconciled without confusion. Such is the central concern of The Broken Ring.","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53799130038614,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/borella-jean-the-broken-ring-9798892801591","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
