Burke, author of Language as Symbolic Action, A Grammar of Motives, and Rhetoric of Motives, among other works, was an innovative and original thinker who worked at the intersection of sociology, psychology, literary theory, and semiotics. This book, a selection of fourteen representative pieces of his productive later years, addresses many important themes Burke tackled throughout his career such as logology (his attempt to find a universal language theory and methodology), technology, and ecology. The essays also elaborate Burke's notions about creativity and its relation to stress, language and its literary uses, the relation of mind and body, and more. Provocative, idiosyncratic, and erudite, On Human Nature makes a significant statement about cultural linguistics and is an important rounding-out of the Burkean corpus. 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aCriticism 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aCriticism. 676 $a814/.52 700 $aBurke$b Kenneth$f1897-1993.$0322353 701 $aRueckert$b William H$g(William Howe),$f1926-$01043235 701 $aBonadonna$b Angelo$01043236 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455649703321 996 $aOn human nature$92468081 997 $aUNINA
