Popis: Ovaj se rad oslanja na filozofsku misao Ernsta Cassirera i određenje čovjeka kao »animal symbolicum«, koje svoj temelj ima upravo u njegovoj filozofiji simboličkih formi. Na temelju Cassirerove teorije o simboličkim formama kao objektivacijama duha, u radu se želi analizirati mogućnost određenja identiteta čovjeka pojedinca kroz odabir i artikulaciju pojedinih simboličkih formi. Pitanje je od kojega se polazi: određuje li se kroz odabir pojedinih simboličkih formi, njihova opsega i intenziteta utjecaja identitet konkretnoga pojedinca? Odnosno, je li u mjeri u kojoj se pojedina simbolička forma artikulira kod pojedinoga čovjeka, moguće odrediti i njegov identitet? Uz navedeno, nameće se i pitanje utjecaja različitih drugih okolnosti poput tradicije, društvene sredine, obitelji i dr. Daljnja se analiza rada odnosi na pitanje mogućnosti oblikovanja identiteta pojedinca kroz prihvaćanje i artikulaciju nekoliko simboličkih formi te, u tom slučaju, njihova međusobnog odnosa, odnosno o prevlasti jedne nad drugom. Prvi i drugi dio rada predstavlja Cassirerovu teoriju o čovjeku kao simboličkome biću te njegovu filozofiju kulture. Treći dio predstavlja pokušaj analize mogućnosti određenja identiteta čovjeka pojedinca kroz prihvaćanje i artikulaciju pojedine simboličke forme ili više njih.
This paper deals with the philosophical thought of Ernst Cassirer and his notion of man as »animal symbolicum« which emanates from his philosophy of symbolic forms. Based on Cassirer’s theory of symbolic forms as the objectivation of the spirit, this paper endeavours to analyse the possibility of determining the identity of the human individual by means of selection and articulation of individual symbolic forms. The question at the outset is the following: is the identity of an individual in fact determined by his choice of individual symbolic forms and by the scope and intensity of their influence? In other words, is the scope within which an individual symbolic form is articulated in an individual human being in fact the measure in which one can determine his identity? In this context the question arises concerning the influence of various other factors such as tradition, social milieu, family, etc. Furthermore, the article examines the issue of the possibility of shaping the identity of an individual through acceptance and articulation of several symbolic forms and their interrelationship in this case, that is the predominance of one over the other. The First and second sections of the article present a portrayal of Cassirer’s theory on man as a symbolic being and his philosophy of culture, while the third section attempts an analysis of the possiblity of determining the identity of a human individual through acceptance and articulation of single symbolic forms or several of the same.
