This collection offers a sustained examination of key aspects to his more technical philosophy (primarily semiotics and the philosophy of language) as well as some of his lesser known philosophical interests, including the philosophy of place and dislocation. Contributors expound upon Percy’s multifaceted philosophy, an invitation to literature and theology scholars as well as to philosophers who may not be familiar with the philosophical underpinnings of his work.PhilosophyAmerica—LiteraturesCatholic ChurchPhilosophy of Manhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E28000North American Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000Catholicismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3120Philosophy.America—Literatures.Catholic Church.Philosophy of Man.North American Literature.Catholicism.813.54Marsh Leslieedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK.9910300615903321Walker Percy, Philosopher2021786UNINA
