Symbolization in a sentence as a noun

Does Brandom talk about how, according to the scientists, first animals developed these abilities, and then humans added in the symbolization? Or does he leave this out, and make it look as if language exists independently of the animal realm?

Other forms of symbolization such painting or composing music can have a similar effect. A good book on this process of attending to unclear feelings is Focusing by the University of Chicago psychologist and philosopher Eugene Gendlin.

I used to be resistant to this approach to symbolization myself and wrote in pursuit of a more messy realism that rejected such abstractions, but eventually I noticed that the more abstract symbolic stuff was what I actually related to emotionally and accepted that I valued a lot of art more for its emotional and symbolic qualities than for its intellectual or mechanical ones. Or it was what the author knew how to describe.
