La teoría funcional y la construcción pictórica de los conceptos en Ernst Cassirer

Abstract

In this paper the nature of representation and Ernst Cassirer´s functional theory are analyzed. It is shown that an object and its subsequent pictorial construction, offers a solution to the problem of relations among the individual and the universal; the concept and the phenomena. It is highlight that, as main feature of function, representation runs as general formula which gaves meaning to the individual cases members of a series. At the end it is offered an schematic explanation which illustrates how pictorial mediations are constructed in knowledge.
