TOWARDS A LOGIC OF CULTURAL COMMUNICATION.<br />FROM CASSIRER’S SYMBOLICAL FORMS TO RICOEUR’S HERMENEUTICS

The point of departure for my considerations about a logic of culture is Cassirer’s theory of symbolization. The logic of cognition, lets call it epistemic logic, and the logic of action, let’s call it – with Bourdieu (1977) – logic of practice, are different aspects of one and the same human agency of meaning-formation. I shall allege that this logic is – in Ricoeurs (2001) words – a hermeneutics or logic of meaning. I also agree with Ricoeur that it is a reflexive or circular probability logic. In this, it comes in my opinion close to Peirce’s theory of abduction as a probabilistic logic of discovery.My own contribution to this sequence of ideas is to show that this logic of meaning by the same token is a logic of cultural communication.Références
