The point of departure for this study is the following question: What is Expression (Ausdruck), and how are we to understand its significance as an originally founding phenomenon in the formation of human culture? The question of the role of expression as a foundation for the study of culture has a dual significance: (1) it is considered as a phenomenological foundation for the development of culture, that is, as an original dimension of the more general phenomenon of meaning; (2) it is considered in terms of its relevance as a metaphysical foundation for the philosophy of culture itself. In articulating this dual significance I take guidance from the philosophy of Ernst Cassirer, and work largely within the tradition of which he is a part.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The point of departure for this study is the following question: What is Expression (Ausdruck), and how are we to understand its significance as an originally founding phenomenon in the formation of human culture? The question of the role of expression as a foundation for the study of culture has a dual significance: (1) it is considered as a phenomenological foundation for the development of culture, that is, as an original dimension of the more general phenomenon of meaning; (2) it is considered in terms of its relevance as a metaphysical foundation for the philosophy of culture itself. In articulating this dual significance I take guidance from the philosophy of Ernst Cassirer, and work largely within the tradition of which he is a part.
520 $a In orienting this study toward its central theme I begin in chapter one with a discussion of the concept of culture as a specifically philosophical concept. Beginning with Vico and Herder and continuing through Dilthey, Windelband, and Rickert, I attempt to bring to light the sense of culture as the total human experience of meaning. This is the sense of culture which becomes fully articulated in Cassirer's philosophy.
520 $a The second chapter is a discussion of Cassirer's thought as a type of critical idealism and as a type of phenomenology. His indebtedness to Kant and Hegel therefore constitutes the primary focus of this chapter.
520 $a Chapter three considers the role of expression as a phenomenological foundation in the development of culture. Cassirer's conceptions of symbolic pregnance, intentionality, expressive perception and the phenomenon of Life are examined in relation to Husserlian phenomenology and Gestalt psychology.
520 $a Chapter four reconsiders the findings of the previous chapter in terms of the relevance of expression to the metaphysical grounding of Cassirer's overall philosophy of culture. Here the analysis focuses on the debate over the primacy of Life over Spirit. The views of Bergson, Simmel, Scheler and Heidegger are contrasted with Cassirer's view. The notion that the expressive perception of Life constitutes the original expression of Spirit itself is taken as the type of metaphysical grounding which Cassirer philosophy both requires and makes possible.
