Mythic Thinking as Symbolic Form——Research on Cassirer’s Philosophy of Culture
摘要: 符号形式是卡西尔哲学的核心概念,而他对神话问题的关注贯穿了他一生的学术写作。神话既作为一种封闭独立的符号体系,又是整个符号大厦得以不断建构的基石。人类文化生活的基本形式起源于神话意识。文章拟从三个方面解读卡西尔的“神话思维”概念:一是神话思维作为符号形式的元形态即神话意识的原动力在人类精神的全部历程中一再地创造力量;二是符号形式与黑格尔“象征型艺术”的勾联即卡西尔文化现象学的维度;三是符号形式与康德“形式”概念的关系即揭示神话思维的先天性与普遍性。
Abstract: The symbolic form is the core concept of Cassirer’s philosophy, and his concern for mythological problems has been throughout his academic writing. Myth, as a closed and independent symbol system, is also the cornerstone of the whole symbol building. The basic form of human cultural life originates from mythological consciousness. This article attempts to interpret Cassirer’s concept of “mythical thought” from three
aspects. First, it focuses on mythical thought as a symbolic form of the meta-form, i. e. the driving force of mythological consciousness in the whole course of the human spirit repeatedly creating power. Second, it investigates the link between symbolic form and Hegel’s “symbolic art
” is the dimension of Cassirer’s cultural phenomenology. Third, it considers the relationship between symbolic form and Kant’s concept of “form
”, which reveals the innateness and universality of mythical thought.
