卡西尔哲学思想中的“符号”概念辨析

Analysis of the Concept “Symbol” in Cassirer's Philosophy

"符号"概念是卡西尔符号形式哲学思想中的核心概念。正是吸收改造康德"图式"概念,并仅仅抓住符号这一人类精神活动的独特形式,卡西尔建立了自己的符号形式哲学。理解符号概念是把握卡西尔哲学思想的关键。对于"符号"概念,卡西尔也在其著作中进行了不同角度的阐发,以区别于其他哲学论断,为自己的哲学界定基本论域。

＂Symbol＂ is the key concept of Cassirer＇ s philosophic theory of symbolic form, which Cassir- er set up by renewing Kant＇ s concept of ＂schema＂ and holding fast to symbol, the unique form of human spiritual activities, thus, the comprehension of the concept ＂symbol＂ is key to grasping Cassirer＇ s phi- losophy. Cassirer expounded the concept from different angles in his works, which delineated the domain of his philosophy.
