Episode notes
Symbols as Participatory Acts
- Symbols are participatory acts, activating profound metaphors.
- This re-exacts cognitive processes, allowing deeper understanding of reality.

- Religio, being intrinsically valuable, is constitutive of our valuation capacity.

- This inexhaustibleness stems from the combinatorial explosion of reality and our cognition.
