such demagogic tricks as I have
already mentioned. I also think
of "psychogenic
illnesses," violent dislocations of bodily motion
due to the improperly criticized
action of symbolicity. A certain
kind of food may be perfectly wholesome, so far as its sheer
mate-
rial nature is concerned. And people
in some areas may particu-
larly prize it. But our habits may be such that it seems to
us loath-
some; and under those conditions,
the very thought of eating it
may be nauseating to us."
Question: What do you think the authors opinion on Locke's sentiments on rhetoric are with this concept of "symbols" in mind?
