From the Light of the Soul to the Conventional Sign
The Proceedings of the Twenty-First World Congress of Philosophy 10:131-140 (2007)
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to analyze the appeal to the notion of the light of the soul as a commonplace in theories of knowledge from the Renaissance to early 18th century philosophy, showing that language will only become a central subject for philosophy with the progressive criticism of the powers of the intellect, especially intuitive thought.Author's Profile
