A Characterization of Humans as Meta-Symbolic and Meta-Interpreting Beings: OAJBS Publishers

A Characterization of Humans as Meta-Symbolic and Meta-Interpreting Beings by Hans Lenk in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science

 


 Cassirer ‘s characterization of the human being as the symbolic being (animal symbolicum is analyzed and criticized and extended here in a methodological manner. A comparison with wild and trained primates regarding using tools and establishing local cultures as well as utilizing symbolic gestures and sign languages shows that the human being cannot be characterized as the only symbolic animal. Instead, we as humans can be demarcated from primates by our capability of ascending and transcending to higher meta-levels of symbolization, interpretation, cognition and language. We are rather the meta-interpreting being (animal meta-symbolicum) and super-interpreting beings transand super-interpreting.
