Abstract

This paper focuses on the decryption of both a symbol and an intellectual experience. It also follows the methodology of not pulling the ladder. Symbols are always enigmatic knowledges. They canot be decrypted exhaustively and, as such, to discover or to propose a symbol, its interpretation, and finally its decryption are always dense endeavors. This paper wants to note the relationship between contemporary symbolic anthropologies with the later epistemology Polo has elaborated. This epistemological proposal of Polo concerns itself with the highest knowledge attainable through human essence. Finally, I conclude with the Polian criticism to the modern ideal of self-consciousness.
