A semiotic theory of theology and philosophy
Robert S. Corrington
Publisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2000.
ISBN: 0521782716   DDC: 146   LCC: BD581  

Summary:

"The concern of this work is with developing an alternative to
standard categories in theology and philosophy, especially in terms
of how they deal with nature. Avoiding the polemics of much
contemporary reflection on nature, it shows how we are connected to
nature through the unconscious and its unique way of reading and
processing signs. Spinoza's key distinction between natura naturans
and natura naturata serves as the governing framework for the
treatise. Suggestions are made for a post-Christian way of
understanding religion." "Robert S. Corrington's work represents the
first sustained attempt to bring together the fields of semiotics,
depth-psychology, pragmaticism, and a post-Monotheistic theology of
nature. Its focus is on how signification functions in human and
non-human orders of infinite nature. Our connection with the infinite
is described in detail, especially as it relates to the use of sign
systems."--BOOK JACKET.
