The subtitle of this volume, Surrounded by Symbols, describes
mankind's unique environment. The book tells how freedom in using
language creates social reality. A language for civility and
scholarship avoids spuma, magic, and defensive bilge. Taking a
telescoping view, we study vibrations in symbolic environments
between tradition and modernity, faithfulness and pragmatism, and
between materialism and humanism. Taking a microscopic view, we see
the descriptive, evaluative, and prescriptive language, often
imbued with emotions, forming a universal minimum vocabulary of
social reality.
