Abstract

Mathematics and Religion: Our Languages of Sign and Symbol is the sixth title published in the Templeton Science and Religion Series, in which scientists from a wide range of fields distill their experience and knowledge into brief tours of their respective specialties. In this volume, Javier Leach, a mathematician and Jesuit priest, leads a fascinating study of the historical development of mathematical language and its influence on the evolution of metaphysical and theological languages. Leach traces three historical moments of change in this evolution: the introduction of the deductive method in Greece, the use of mathematics as a language of science in modern times, and the formalization of mathematical languages in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As he unfolds this fascinating history, Leach notes the striking differences and interrelations between the two languages of science and religion. Until now there has been little reflection on these similarities and differences, or about how both languages can complement and enrich each other.

Abstract

Les six essais qui composent cet ouvrage portent sur des objets de sens bien particuliers et apparemment très différents : ce sont des logos, un « total look », un concept de magasin et un couteau. En fait, si ces objets sont ici soumis à une analyse sémiotique, c'est qu'ils illustrent tous, au-delà de leur commune appartenance à notre culture matérielle contemporaine, un même mode de production du sens : une même façon de concevoir et d'affirmer son identité par un bricolage de signes préexistants. Le terme de bricolage n'est pas pris dans un sens vague. Il est pris dans le sens précis que lui a donné Lévi-Strauss dans les fameuses premières pages de La pensée sauvage, où l'anthropologue oppose la démarche du bricoleur à celle de l'ingénieur pour montrer en quoi le bricolage est une démarche qui peut être rapprochée de celle de la pensée mythique. Les six identités visuelles qui sont très concrètement analysées au cours de ces pages apparaîtront dès lors comme autant de manifestations, dans notre culture contemporaine, de cette façon si particulière d'articuler le sensible et l'intelligible, dont Lévi-Strauss a pu dire qu'elle était essentielle dans le fonctionnement de l'esprit humain.

Abstract

What are the unique characteristics of sign languages that make them so fascinating? What have recent researchers discovered about them, and what do these findings tell us about human language more generally? This thematic and geographic overview examines more than forty sign languages from around the world. It begins by investigating how sign languages have survived and been transmitted for generations, and then goes on to analyse the common characteristics shared by most sign languages: for example, how the use of the visual system affects grammatical structures. The final section describes the phenomena of language variation and change. Drawing on a wide range of examples, the book explores sign languages both old and young, from British, Italian, Asian and American to Israeli, Al-Sayyid Bedouin, African and Nicaraguan. Written in a clear, readable style, it is the essential reference for students and scholars working in sign language studies and deaf studies.
