Document Details : Title: Magisch irrealisme Subtitle: Politieke en religieuze thema's uit Paul Cortois' Symbolische essenties Author(s): STYFHALS, Willem Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 81 Issue: 2 Date: 2019 Pages: 369-379 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.81.2.3286771 Abstract : This article presents a critical reading of Paul Cortois’ philosophy of symbolic essences.
