"On Human Nature: A Gathering While Everything Flows "brings
together the late essays, autobiographical reflections, an
interview, and a poem by the eminent literary theorist and cultural
critic Kenneth Burke (1897-1993). Burke, author of "Language as
Symbolic Action, A Grammar of Motives, "and "Rhetoric of Motives,
"among other works, was an innovative and original thinker who
worked at the intersection of sociology, psychology, literary
theory, and semiotics. This book, a selection of fourteen
representative pieces of his productive later years, addresses many
important themes Burke tackled throughout his career such as
logology (his attempt to find a universal language theory and
methodology), technology, and ecology. The essays also elaborate
Burke's notions about creativity and its relation to stress,
language and its literary uses, the relation of mind and body, and
more. Provocative, idiosyncratic, and erudite, "On Human Nature
"makes a significant statement about cultural linguistics and is an
important rounding-out of the Burkean corpus.
