The symbolic turn

By: Prabhuji Har-Zion

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In The Symbolic Turn, Prabhuji guides us through the intricate paths of Western philosophy with profound erudition and wisdom, offering us a peculiar symbolic interpretation of life. His elucidations on the symbol transcend the lexicographical scope that defines it as a graphic representation identified by letters or signs, the aim of which would be to represent a specific entity, idea, or condition by means of convention or association. In the words of the author: "A symbol is not a mere image but an 'audible image', since we can only understand what we see if we listen carefully to its narrative; it is a dual entity that reveals the suprasensible by means of the sensible, thanks to an audible narrative that connects the physical with the metaphysical." This perspective not only redefines the nature of symbols but also establishes their importance in the Retroprogressive Path and in our own understanding of reality. Symbols, according to Prabhuji, are the language of the soul.
