Abstract:
This paper begins by discussing the weakness or loss of the symbol in our contemporary society, and recounts how modernity has renounced it by means of the discourse of Enlightenment. On these bases, we analyze the roots for its recovery, locating the symbol between the sign and analogy. We conclude with a proposal that restores the symbol by means of experience. The latter will open up the aesthetic and mystic worlds.
