卡西尔论神话思维

卡西尔认为:在各种象征形式中,神话是最基本的;文化生存的基本形式起源于神话意识,各种象征都产生于原始神话思维的一些最初形式里。神话思维是一种具象性、情感性的思维,也是一种生命一体化的交感思维和象征性思维。神话思维的三个基本结构形式是空间、时间和数。神话思维中的自我主体范畴脱胎于原始的灵魂范畴。在人与物质世界和人类群体的关系中发展了对象意识和自我意识。文化自我意识是自我范畴的成熟。

Karseal's View of Myth Thought

According to Karseal, among all kinds of symbols, myth is the most fundamental; the basic form of cultural existence originated from the consciousness of myth and every kind of symbol can be traced back to some original forms of the primitive myths thought. Myth thought is a kind of concrete and emotional thought, it is also a kind of intermingled emotional thought as well as a kind of symbolized thought which has made life a perfect harmony.The three basic structural form of myth though are space, time and figure. The self main body in myth thought originated from the primitive soul category. Object consciousness and self consciousness are developed in the relationship between man and the material world and the human group. The cultural self consciousness means the maturity of self category.
