ENTANGLEMENTS; NOTES; INDEX""Here is an absorbing and exceptionally perceptive account of how deep symbols or words of power (which tend to be a culture's normaltive language) have undergone diminishment in a contemporary postmodern society. Edward Farley explains that such diminishment does not necessarily imply their demise since traces of these symbols remain and invite their rethinking. Two introductory chapters spell out the character and prospect of deep symbols in postmodern society. Then follow five chapters, each of which considers a particular deep symbol: tradition, obligation (duty), reality, law, and hope.Signs and symbolsSocial aspectsLanguage and languagesReligious aspectsSigns and symbolsSocial aspects.Language and languagesReligious aspects.302.2/22Farley Edward1929-2014.547164MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911153006003321Deep symbols4851930UNINA
