Meaning and significance How does the spirit get into the bottle?

By Stefan Gros

It is the stories we believe in that make us who we are, and it is those we share that make us all human beings. If we want to believe in the story of 'communication, ' we must believe in a series of fundamental premises. We must believe in signs, words and sentences. We must believe in interconnected stories that generate themselves and their parts, and we must create meaning out of this chaos through selection and naming. We must form differences and begin to create universes. Out of the fog of the undifferentiated, 'meaning' then emerges. Everything begins. This book spans the arc from semiotics to Wittgenstein to Luhmann's systems theory. It illuminates the effect and usefulness of metaphors and stories for the construction of our identity and their fundamental importance for processes of counselling and therapy.
