Book of Symbols - Opracowanie zbiorowe - książka
Producent: Taschen
The "Handbook of Visual Experience" delves deep into the historical significance of symbols and their interpretations. "The Book of Symbols" offers a collection of original, penetrating essays paired with images drawn from diverse cultures and epochs. With over 800 vivid full-color visuals, the book uncovers layers of hidden meanings. Each of the approximately 350 essays explores the psychological background of a symbol, examining its ability to trigger mental processes and dynamics. It takes into account etymology, contrasts, contradictions, shadow elements, and how various cultures have interacted with the symbol. Contributors from fields like psychology, religion, art, literature, and comparative mythology craft essays that naturally blend, much like the psyche’s unforeseen intersections. Rather than providing simplistic definitions that might strip a symbol of its vitality, the book presents symbols as living, evolving entities that capture our interest and reveal new insights over time. This work encourages readers to transition from mere visual recognition of symbols in art, religion, daily life, or dreams, to deeply experiencing their personal and psychological significance. "The Book of Symbols" establishes new benchmarks in the exploration of symbols and their meanings and is designed to attract a diverse audience: from artists, designers, and dream interpreters to psychotherapists, self-improvement enthusiasts, gamers, comic book fans, spiritual seekers, writers, students, and anyone intrigued by the influence of archetypal symbols.
