This work is regarded as the founding text of a new epistemology and may be read as an introduction to The Crisis of Religious Symbolism by the same author. It begins with a historical survey of theories of symbolism stretching from antiquity to the modern period, moves on to a critique of contemporary linguistic theory, and then turns to a ground-breaking structural analysis of the symbolic sign that uncovers a necessary but too long elided metaphysical dimension. In sum, it presents a theory of the symbol that seeks to restore, intelligibly, and in a way that transcends contemporary deconstructions, the ancient doctrines of both East and West. But make no mistake: this is philosophy, not ethnology. The symbolic sign is the nodal point of metaphysical thought, the place where nature becomes culture and culture becomes nature; that is, where being and meaning are reconciled without confusion. Such is the central concern of The Broken Ring.

French religious philosopher JEAN BORELLA (b. 1930) taught metaphysics and the history of ancient and medieval philosophy at the University of Nancy II until 1995. His aim has always been to blend the concerns of philosophy with those of the Christian faith, its dogmas, as well as its symbolic expressions. Among his other books in English translation are Christ the Original Mystery, The Crisis of Religious Symbolism, Love and Truth, and The Truth of Christian Gnosis, all available from Angelico Press.
