Samenvatting
Expressive Action shows that many of the actions we perform - such as welcoming, celebrating, thanking, blaming and mourning - are symbolic, ritualistic, emotional actions. However, this does not mean that they are irrational. When we act in these ways we are acting with good reason. They are expressive actions in which we use symbolism to mark the significance of the situation, and where the symbolism we use is not arbitrary in relation to what is being marked. For instance, if Christians kneel in church to mark the presence of God, the symbolism of their kneeling speaks to the greatness, or lovingness of God, and their own weakness and vulnerability.
