Description:
Translated from original French by Alice L. Morton. This is an outline of the general theory of symbolism. The author argues against the prevailing "semiological" conception of symbols, the idea that symbols have meanings in much the way that words do.Sperber gives a cognitive account of symbolism by which symbols represent knowledge, but knowledge which is distinct from "encyclopedic knowledge".
