Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis l'origine des temps, le coeur et la raison humaine languissent de comprendre les phénomènes de la vie, en vue d'une signification qui dépasserait, et par là justifierait, leurs formes sensuellement perceptibles. - C'est ainsi que naît la Connaissance par la Tradition. Superstition ! - Exclamation pour damner tout Système qui superpose - ou contredit - les doctrines officielles expliquant le Créateur, la Création, et les Créatures. Les fidèles à l'ancien Savoir, voulant rester libres et vivants, eurent recours aux signes, symboles, griffes et images; - aux contes, Mythes et fables. - C'est ainsi que les vieux symboles survécurent jusques à nos jours. Le Symbolisme restera toujours un moyen de communi-cation universel: C'est le langage commun qui réunit les déshérités et les Initiés des anciennes cultures, de tous les idiomes, et à travers toutes les époques. Or, la signifi-cation par excellence de tous les symboles, c'est celle de rappeler à l'âme humaine son origine primordiale, et le glorieux Chemin vers sa destination finale et divine. Ce présent livre richement illustré souligne l'importance des symboles en notre temps moderne. C'est un précis vif de la portée des symboles, de leurs éléments fonda¬mentaux, de leur présence permanente et de leur impact magique. Indications discrètes et exemples concrets unissent Alchimie, Mythologie, Hermétisme et Héraldique, sans oublier le Présent actuel. - Aussi, c'est un précis du symbolisme et, en même temps, une introduction à l'analyse autonome de presque tous les symboles. Il veut encourager tout le monde: À présent, à braver la mondiale manipulation de l'humanité; - et pour les grands changements et révolutions à venir, à penser librement, à discerner sobrement - et à consciemment choisir La Vie.
Download or read book Symbolism and Interpretation written by Tzvetan Todorov and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Symbolism and Interpretation, Tzvetan Todorov examines two aspects of discourse: its production, which has traditionally been the domain of rhetoric, and its reception, which has always been the object of hermeneutics. He analyzes the diverse theories of symbolism and interpretation that have been elaborated over the centuries and considers their contribution to a general theory of verbal symbolism, discussing a wide range of thinkers, from the Sanskrit philosophers and Aristotle to the German Romantics and contemporary semioticians. Todorov begins by examining general ideas of linguistic symbolism and the interpretive process. He then turns to a detailed consideration of two of the most influential and pervasive interpretative strategies in Western thought: the patristic exegesis of Augustine and Aquinas, and the philological exegesis foreshadowed in the work of Spinoza, developed by Wolf, Ast, Boeckh, and Lanson, and criticized by Schleiermacher. Todorov clarifies in masterly fashion the intricacies of the many schools of thought and refines the concepts crucial to critical theory today, including the distinctions between language and discourse, direct and indirect meaning, sign and symbol. Ably translated by Catherine Porter, Symbolism and Interpretation provides a coherent and innovative framework that is indispensable to the study of semiotics, its history, and its future.
Download or read book Du Symbole Et de La Symbolique written by Martial François and published by Baudelaire. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les livres saints de toutes les religions sont ecrits en langage symbolique, chacun avec son symbolisme propre. Mais si l'on regarde de pres, on s'apercoit qu'il existe un symbolisme commun a toutes les religions. Si l'on accepte de mettre a plat ces traces communes, et de les comparer, on decouvre alors une unite qui depasse les differentes formes particulieres, et qui nous entraine doucement mais surement vers une unite transcendantale. C'est seulement par l'etude de ces symboles et symbolismes depuis les epoques les plus archaiques que l'on pourra comprendre la naissance et les developpements des croyances et des religions connues, depuis la prehistoire jusqu'a nos jours. Martial Francois s'interesse a l'origine de ce symbolisme, en etudiant les points communs fondamentaux des symbolismes particuliers qui en resultent, et en proposant un mode de lecture possible pour aborder tous les contes et mythes fondes sur cette symbolique universelle. Il souhaite abandonner les significations rationalisantes habituelles qui ont denature l'essence de ces contes en projetant sur eux nos propres soucis d'hommes modernes ou d'economistes. Qu'est-ce qu'un symbole ? Qu'est-ce qu'un mythe ? Et surtout comment les decrypter ? Principalement axe sur le symbolisme des nombres, cet ouvrage tres dense tend a rendre compte des similitudes existant entre les grandes traditions. Martial Francois nous fournitdes pistes pour comprendre ce qui relie les differentes culturesentre elles, en partant de leur mythologie ou des ecritures saintes. Il nous demontre qu'un meme symbole peut recouvrir plusieurs niveaux de comprehension. Grace a de solides connaissances, l'auteur eclaire notre pensee sur la maniere dont le merveilleux a envahi le monde. Il nous livre, entre autres, sa propre analyse du mythe d'OEdipe et des contes de notre enfance. Un essai fascinant !

Download or read book Augustine s Theory of Signs Signification and Lying written by Remo Gramigna and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study is to present, as far as possible, a general description of the theory of the sign and signification in Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), with a view to its evaluation and implications for the study of semiotics. Accurate studies for subject, discipline, and significance have not yet given an organic and systematic vision of Augustine’s theory of the sign. The underlying aspiration is that such an endeavour will prove to be beneficial to the scholars of Augustine’s thought as well as to those with a keen interest in the history of semiotics. The study uses Augustine’s own accounts to investigate and interpret the philosophical problem of the sign. The focus lies on the first decade of Augustine’s literary production. The De dialectica, is taken as the terminus ad quo of the study, and the De doctrina christiana is the terminus ad quem. The selected texts show an explicit engagement with poignant discussion on the nature and structure of the sign, the variety of signs and their uses. Although Augustine’s intention never was to establish a theory of meaning as an independent field of study, he largely employed a theory of signs. Thus, Augustine’s approach to signs is intrinsically meaningful.

Download or read book The Interpretation of the Bible written by Joze Krasovec and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 1914 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume, nearly 2000 pages in length and handsomely printed on Bible paper, is perhaps the most comprehensive scholarly work of our time on the translation and interpretation of the Bible. At its core are papers presented to an international symposium in Ljubljana in September 1996 to mark the publication of the new Slovenian version of the Bible, a landmark in Slovene identity and cultural life. In addition, its distinguished editor, Joze Krasovec, has commissioned a wide range of contributions devoted to translations of the Bible in many languages, including the Slavonic languages, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish and the Scandinavian languages. The 82 chapters in this work, mostly in English, are divided into three parts. Part I, on ancient translations and hermeneutics of the Bible, contains contributions by M.-E. Boismard, S.P. Brock, K.J. Cathcart, R.P. Gordon, L.J. Grech, M. Hengel, O. Keel, J. Lust, E. Tov and others, with a notable comprehensive bibliographic survey of oriental Bible translations from the first millennium by M. van Esbroeck. Part II, on Slavonic and other translations of the Bible, includes the first detailed study of the history of the Slavonic Bible, by Francis J. Thomson (over 300 pp.). Part III, with essays by such scholars as J.H. Charlesworth, D.J.A. Clines, J. Gnilka, M. G÷rg, N. Lohfink and A.C. Thiselton, concerns the interpretation of the Bible in translation, philosophy, theology, art and music. In an appendix, a complete list of printed Bibles in languages throughout the world is presented for the first time.

Book excerpt: Ce livre est l'aboutissement d'une recherche qui marque un tournant dans l'histoire de l'esprit. Paul Diel, dont l'œuvre entière a eu pour fin l'étude des motifs intimes et de leurs expressions symboliques, dégage dans ce livre une cause profonde du désarroi de l'époque. Celle-ci tient à l'erreur séculaire de l'esprit porté à prendre à la lettre ses propres productions symboliques les plus élevées : les anciennes visions mythiques, fondement des cultures. Cette erreur, qui n'a pas épargné le symbolisme de la Bible, reste une source de désorientation philosophique et éthique lourde de conséquences individuelles et sociales. Diel poursuit dans ce livre, qui est le dernier qu'il ait écrit, l'effort méthodique de restitution du sens caché des mythes, appliqué ici aux textes symboliques de la Genèse, du Prologue de Jean, et des Epîtres de Paul (Création et Chute, Incarnation, Résurrection).
Download or read book Language Meaning Interpretation written by Guttorm Fløistad and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-07 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy of logic and language, and of meaning and communication are central to this volume. The discussion of these issues involves analytical approaches, including semantics and semiotics, philosophy of science, mathematical logic, phenomenology, hermeneutics and some aspects of philosophical anthropology and aesthetics. Philosophy of the Absolute also belongs to this broad repertoire of philosophical problems and disciplines. A number of problems and viewpoints derive from the metaphysical system; any relativistic view on ethical values, for instance, makes sense in relation to some absolute. Metaphysical system building may have come to an end, but after all it belongs to philosophy to remind us of our past.

Download or read book The Symbolist Movement in the Literature of European Languages written by Anna Balakian and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1984 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by Anna Balakian, this volume marks the first attempt to discuss Symbolism in a full range of the literatures written in the European languages. The scope of these analyses, which explore Latin America, Scandinavia, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria as well as West European literatures, continues to make the volume a valuable reference today. As René Wellek suggests in his historiographic contribution, the fifty-one contributors not only make us think afresh about individual authors who are giants, but also draw us to reassess schools and movements in their local as well as international contexts. Reviewers comment that this copious and intelligently structured anthology, divided into eight parts, traces the conceptual bases and emergence of an international Symbolist movement, showing the spread of Symbolism to other national literatures from French sources, as well as the symbiotic transformations of Symbolism through appropriation and amalgamation with local literary trends. Several chapters deal with the relationships between literature and the other arts, pointing to Symbolism at work in painting, music, and theatre. Other chapters on the psychological aspects of the Symbolist method connect in interesting ways to a vision of metaphor and myth as virtually musical notation and an experimental emphasis on the play afforded by gaps between words. The volume is a major contribution to the most significant exponents and essential themes of Symbolism. The theoretical, historical, and typological sections of the volume help explain why the impact of this important movement of the fin-de-siècle is still felt today.

Book excerpt: Le symbole présente un sens immédiat à travers lequel un autre sens se donne et se cache tout à la fois. D'une nature essentiellement équivoque et ambiguë, il ouvre le champ de l'interprétation, champ ouvert et peu déterminé qui rend possible une pluralité de lectures. " Le symbole donne à penser. " Il appartient à l'exégèse et à l'herméneutique de penser les règles de l'interprétation afin de soustraire celle-ci à l'arbitraire et à la fantaisie.
