Walker Percy (1916-1990) was an American author whose areas of study comprised philosophy and semiotics. This collection of essays is an examination of symbols and how they relate to the human mind. The following are the chapter titles: "The Delta Factor," "The Loss of the Creature," "Metaphor as Mistake," "The Man on the Train," "Notes for a Novel About the End of the World," "The Message in the Bottle," "The Mystery of Language," "Toward a Triadic Theory of Meaning," "The Symbolic Structure of Interpersonal Process," "Culture: The Antinomy of the Scientific Method," "Semiotic and a Theory of Knowledge," "Symbol, Consciousness, and Intersubjectivity," "Symbol as Hermeneutic in Existentialism," "Symbol as Need," and "A Theory of Language." Excerpt from back flap: "[Percy] points out that, since language is part of man's singularity, symbolization may be an essential act of the mind. In a period when most psychology textbooks omit the word 'symbol' he discusses the relations of symbol and meaning in 'Symbol, Consciousness, and Intersubjectivity,' 'The Symbolic Structure of Interpersonal Process,' and 'Symbol as Need.'".
