Rethinking Symbolism by Dan Sperber
William Hurrell Mallock, a prominent British philosopher, wrote this 1878 English satire based upon the religious liberalism or scientific optimism of Arnold, Pater, Huxley, Tyndall, Ruskin, Jowett, and other leading Victorians. Dedicated to Violet Fane', this Peacockian symposium in novel-form introduces her as Mrs Sinclair. Other characters admittedly drawn from life are Dr. Jenkinson (Jowett), Mr. Herbert (Ruskin), Mr. Storks (Huxley) and Mr. Stockton (Tyndal), Mr. Luke (Matthew Arnold), Mr. Rose (Walter Pater). An important title in the history of utopian literature. Mallock was also known for his books on atheism and socialism as well.Dan Sperber is the Director of Research of the Paris-based Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. He has taught at Princeton University, the London School of Economics, and the University of Michigan as a visiting professor. He is the author of Rethinking Symbolism, On Anthropological Knowledge, and Relevance: Communication and Cogntion (1995), co-authored with Deirdre Wilson.
