While Jenkins is basically sympathetic of Barthes's theory, his interpretation of "reading" a text differs primarily in regards to how texts can be "reread." No additional sources cited.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page address of the philosophical dilemma of whether or not we can talk meaningfully of a God who transcends creation if language is a part of creation. Questions the innateness of language and the applicability of that innateness to the topic of our own creation and the existence of God. Compares language in animals and mankind and concludes there are definitive differences in the ability of the two to have meaningful conversations about such highly abstract concepts as God and His existence. It is the ability to translate our mental experiences into words which gives humans the capability of abstract thought and allows us to have meaningful philosophic conversation about God even though God transcends creation. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Language's Applicability To Metaphysics
[ send me this paper ]
