Thanks to Michael for introducing and Marc for providing materials on the topic of Percy's posthumously published Symbol and Existence: A Study in Meaning: Explorations of Human Nature (Mercer UP, 2019).
Book Description: https://www.mupress.org/Symbol-and-Existence-A-Study-in-Meaning-Explorations-of-Human-Nature-P1016.aspx

Below are two readily-accessible reviews, which Percy-L community members may find of interest.

Further discussion is, of course, most welcome, for instance: how S&E is different from Percy's Message in the Bottle and pertinent sections in his Lost in the Cosmos, or agreements/disagreements with either review below. Certainly, there is much unexplored territory in contrasting these three Percy books.

Best regards,
Henry Mills
Percy-L Administrator

Amazon does not have a "look inside" icon for "Symbol & Existence" Could someone please post the Table of Contents here? Also, those who have read it (I have not), what is your opinion?  Thanks.
