Hacia una propuesta semiótica y cultural del símbolo a partir de la Crítica del Juicio y las posibilidades de una ‘antropología del símbolo’ en el escenario de las Humanidades

One to depart from the philosophical horizon of the third Kantian critique, proposes him to make one an approximation ‘ theory semiótica ‘ of the symbol that would connect two structural areas: the semiotic and cultural or aesthetic. Accompanied of the observations of the philosopher and Italian writer Humberto Eco, we try to update equally the Kantian positions on the symbol inside the new courses of the general semiotic theory. Located in the theoretical context of ‘ general semiotics ‘, we propose to assume a de!nition of the human thing from the philosophical category of the symbol, as Ernst Cassirer proposes it in his philosophical Anthropology, exploring, at the same time, the methodological possibilities for a ‘ anthropology of the symbol ‘, propitiates in the current world in the one that prevails, paradoxically the seduction of the rhetoric of the image with the ontological constitution of the virtual worlds. Finally, we will show the incidents of the other of a ‘ symbolic anthropology ‘ in what it has been given to call (particularly in Spain) under the title of educational anthropology.
