Cassirerjeva filozofija simbolnih form

Jelen, Lara (avtor), Ošlaj, Borut (mentor)

V tem diplomskem delu bom skušala podrobno predstaviti glavni opus Ernsta Cassirerja – filozofijo, ki jo je dolga leta razvijal v svoji najizvirnejši, a žal tudi nedokončani zapuščini. Gre za delo Filozofija simbolnih form, ki je med letoma 1923 in 1929 izšla v treh delih: Jezik (Die Sprache, 1923), Mitično mišljenje (Das mythische Denken, 1925) in nenazadnje še Fenomenologija spoznanja (Phӓnomenologie der Erkenntnis, 1929). Nujno se zdi omeniti tudi načrtovan četrti del; K metafiziki simbolnih form (Zur Metaphysik der symbolischen Formen), ki je bil izdan leta 1996 s pomočjo več strokonjakov za njegovo filozofijo. Središče te naloge bo tako filozofija simbolnih form. Predvsem mi bo v pomoč delo, ki ga je Cassirer napisal po tem, ko je leta 1933 zapustil takrat viharno Nemčijo in se preselil v Združene države Amerike, delo, za katero bi lahko rekli, da predstavlja pregled in dopolnitev glavnega opusa, Esej o človeku (An Essay on Man, 1944). Kraljestvo simbolnih form za razumevanje zahteva pojem homo symbolicus, ki bo vseskozi neviden steber te diplomske naloge.

Izvleček

The following undergraduate thesis will try to take Ernst Cassirer's main opus under a magnifying glass, meaning his most original theory; Philosophy of symbolic forms which is sadly unfinished. It was issued in three parts between 1923 and 1929: Language (Die Sprache 1923), Mythical Thinking (Das Mythische Denken, 1925) and last but not least Phenomenology of Cognition (Phӓnomenologie der Erkenntnis, 1929). It seems necessarily to add the fourth part named The Metaphysics of Symbolic Forms (Zur Metaphysik der symbolischen Formen) which was issued in 1996 with the help of several experts of his philosophy. The main focus in this contribution will be, as detected, the philosophy of symbolic forms. The book helping me above all shall be An Essay on Man, which was written after Cassirer left at that time restless Germany in 1933 and moved in the United States of America. The book works like an overall review or conclusion of his main work. The kingdom of symbolic forms for its understanding requires the concept of homo symbolicus, which will throughout stand as an invisible pillar of present undergraduate thesis.
