31. Heinrich Zimmer
• Gives a concise overview of the
nature, and perennial relevance,
of symbols.
• "Concepts and words are
symbols, just as visions, rituals,
and images are; so too are the
manners and customs of daily
life
32. Heinrich Zimmer
• Symbols are a means of
complex communication that
often times can have multiple
levels of meaning.[5] This
separates symbols from signs,
as signs have only one meaning.
33. Heinrich Zimmer
• Human cultures use symbols as
a means to express their
specific ideology, social
structures, and to represent
characteristics of their specific
culture
• The meaning of a symbol is not
inherent in the symbol itself, but
is culturally learned
34. Heinrich Zimmer
• Symbols are the basis for all
human understanding, and all
human knowledge.
• Symbols facilitate human
understanding of interaction
with the world they live, thus
serving as the grounds upon
which humans make judgments.
