摘要:Mauricio Beuchot and Mircea Eliade have carried out profound studies on symbols, which have opened up a discussion about the survival of symbols in contemporary social images. This paper aims to give backbone to this debate, to go through the concepts of the symbol by means of different approaches (sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, philosophy and linguistics), to take the initial argument from the material positions to formal ones and to draw up a conclusion which opens up a door to recovering symbol in the present day.
