Philosophical Sketches

Susanne K. Langer applies her unique philosophical technique to the investigation of "felt experiences," to the relationship of mind and emotion. Her essays deal with the practical issues of the psychology of self, the origin of speech, the definition of symbol and art, and the consequences of a technological orientation on society and the individual. Preliminary sketches for a larger work, they serve as an introduction to an important new concept by one of America's outstanding philosophers.
