But do I think it is unavoidable? Yes. As we are selves entirely unable to define who we are, we do not always value or truly think on semiotics. We do not think how we devalue something just by giving it its sign, and leaving it at that, thinking that its sign somehow explains it. It explains nothing. Instead of devaluating the movement of bees as just being some irregular annoying pattern, Percy seems to suggest that getting caught up in the mystery of a thing in and of itself is something like transcendence. It is art, it is science, it is Heidegger and his chalk and O'Connor and her mystery.daniellestandiferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089985574943893448noreply@blogger.com
