Author: Alleau, René

If you don't know the grammar of a language, no dictionary can help you truly understand that language. This book explores the grammar as well as the principles and structures of symbology, the science of symbols. Unlike symbolism, which explores the use of symbols, symbology examines the primal force that creates them. Explaining why symbols are "the music of the universe," Alleau investigates the symbols of Eastern and Western philosophies, both ancient and modern, as well as African, Native American and Australian cultures. 304 pp.
