One knows what symbolism is, if one knows

man in his manifest depth, always knowing that he was

placed on earth by God whose function, as Pico della

Mirandola reminds us, will be to meditate, admire and

love the greatness of God's creation. But God did not

find a model to do it. He therefore addresses the first

specimen of his creature, and says: "I have not given a

form, nor a specific function, to you, Adam. For this

reason, you will have the form and function you want.

"The nature of the other creatures I have given

according to my desire. But you will have no limits.

You will define your own limitations according to your

free will."

PICUS MIRANDOLA

Men would have to understand what it means

not only to be present in the here and now, but without

this understanding, knowing that man is the central

image of reality and the center of God's creation, they

would not be able to understand themselves, the

symbol center of the earthly state. The author's

intention is to allow the reader to visualize and dwell

on the basic aspects of the symbolic archetypes and

Hermeneutics and Exegesis

their relationship with divinity, the structures of the

heavens and time as a determining factor. For

Augustine of Hippo, the nature of God is dual and

dialectical because man was made by God for his own

joy and placed there as a central image with nature at

his service. what is Symbolism?, the Qur'an reminds

us.

Qur'an, XVII: 44

The seven heavens and the earth,

And everything that is in them they glorify, and there is

nothing that they do not glorify with praise;

But you do not understand his glorification.
