Sztuka jako symboliczna interpretacja świata w filozofii Cassirera
Art as a symbolic interpretation of the world in the philosophy of Ernst Cassirer

Summary/Abstract: In the philosophy of Ernst Cassirer art is one of the symbolic forms of understanding of reality. Each of them – myth, religion, language, art, history, science – is not only a part of human culture but also a kind of interpretation of the world. It means that there are different worlds – seen and unedrstood by each of the symbolic forms. The main difference between art and science (for example) is that the former relates with intuition, the other with logical concepts and a process of abstraction. Cassirer wrote that science uses conceptualization, but art is founded upon a scheme of perceptualization. The author of the text tries to show which meaning is hidden under these views.
