Its argument, anticipated in the author's previous book, \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, is at once symbolic, philosophical, and evolutionary: meaning is a form of perception to which human beings are physically and mentally adapted. Using examples from his many years of research among the Daribi people of New Guinea as well as from Western culture, Wagner approaches the question of the creation of meaning by examining the nonreferential qualities of symbols-such as their aesthetic and formal properties-that enable symbols to stand for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 157\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 7.99 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47384755470585,"sku":"9780226869292","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/b3YzbXQ1SlFnT0VEODRkUGhqMVYvdz09_0c405373-cb1c-40b8-b4e1-52a60be59acd.webp?v=1770167377","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/symbols-that-stand-for-themselves-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
