«Signes, symboles et mythes» is the philosophical essay by Luc Benoist, published by PUF in paperback (128 pages, in French).
The book starts from an everyday example attributed to Aristotle, the word «perro» does not bite, to show that signs are not the reality they designate. Luc Benoist studies the role of symbolism in the expression of ideas and traces the evolution of signs from their appearance to their transformation into myths, with the symbol as mediator between the thing and the idea.
It is number 1605 in the Que sais-je? collection and corresponds to the 9th edition; the work was originally published in 1975.
For readers interested in philosophy, mythology and the history of ideas who seek a brief and accessible introduction to symbolism.
