“The human spirit in a new light – The genesis of a revolutionary philosophical symbolic language” stands out as an absolutely original and brilliant work of art. The initial project of this revolutionary language was based upon a system of eighteen symbols, each of which representing a specific philosophical concept, pertaining to the fields of ethics, metaphysics, pedagogy, psychology and linguistics. Most importantly, this symbolic language has been interpreted as an emphatic form of communication, going beyond the level of abstractness and depth characterizing the metaphorical language.

Crucially, the focus on the reject of evil and negative instincts is further substantiated by the fact that almost all positive symbols consist of a seed of moral negativity and a contrasting positive force. Interestingly, the leitmotif of the opposition to evil develops throughout the work outside ethics, in fields such as psychology and metaphysics. Linguistics and grammar cover the technical part of the work. All the grammatical rules underpinning the philosophical symbolic system form the basis of the so – called Grammar One, elucidating all the details related to the symbolic groups created between 2002 and 2005. Two thirds of the entire work are fully dedicated to the explanation of the grammatical sections representing the basic stage of the so – called Grammar II. More precisely, this grammar lays the foundations of a proper philosophical language, made up of absolutely original and new grammatical categories created by the author of the philosophical symbolic system.

A basic knowledge of philosophy undoubtedly facilitates the understanding of the main topics of the book treated in the first seven chapters. In particular, a full awareness of the continental tradition of philosophy represented by some Greek and German philosophers such as Heraclitus, Plato, Aristo, Leibniz and Kant allows readers to grasp some key concepts without demanding efforts. Nonetheless, due to the didactic methodology of the book, any reader is smoothly guided towards the full understanding of any aspect covered. All the topics are elucidated very clearly and exhaustively, in a progressive way and through manifold examples. Moreover, any reference to modern or ancient philosophers is aimed at making readers familiarise themselves with the concepts expressed by the various symbols and symbolic compounds. On these grounds, although any previous philosophical knowledge is somehow helpful, it is never to be considered necessary.

As for chapter 8, illustrating the rules related to the formation of symbolic compounds, there are no hints to philosophical issues or English Grammar. Contrary to chapter 8, chapter 9 (especially its first part) inevitably involves English Grammar. As a matter of fact, my absolutely new grammatical categories are contrasted with the fundamental English parts of speech. Obviously, a thorough knowledge of English grammar is helpful in the understanding of some key grammatical topics.
