Cassirer'e Göre Efsane ve Dini Kültürde İnsanm Yeri
Abstract
Today unfortunately it seems that within the .. :various anthropological
approaches the ideas about the nature of man tend to be incoherent
and disconnected from each other. Raising criticisms regarding to this
incongruity Cassirer argues that a coherent and consistent understanding
of the nature of man is possible through the joint work of
science, art, philosophy, and religious studies. Tl:ıis study surveys, by
the perspective of a histerian of philosophy, the ideas put forward by
Cassirer about how man has been seen so far in the mythology and
religion. To him, the dominant and distinc::t feature of man is not
his/her metaphysical and, physical nature but his functionality. This
effort is a system of human activity which defınes and determines the
circle of humanity. Language, mythology, religion, art, science and
history are the constituent elements of this cycle. Therefore, a 'human
philosophy' enables us to conceive the basic structure of these human
activities and to understand them as an organic unity
