Fundamentos filosóficos para una pedagogía de la cultura by Gustavo Adolfo Esparza Urzúa

“… El objetivo general del presente trabajo es elaborar una lectura pedagógica de Filosofía de las formas simbólicas, de Ernst Cassirer, centrando la atención en el volumen Fenomenología del conocimiento, donde el autor detalla que los fundamentos aducidos por Paul Natorp, en Introducción a la psicología constituyen una visión crítica de la psicología como fundamento de las operaciones intelectuales. En general, son tres los resultados a mostrar: primero, que esta recuperación de la visión natorpiana permite a Cassirer sostener que toda actividad cultural (el lenguaje, la mitología, el arte, la ciencia, etc.) tiene como fundamento las actividades psicológicas del sujeto, lo que implica que toda formación simbólica es, tanto un producto intelectual del individuo como una actividad cultural; segundo, que para el desarrollo de una psicología crítica, de acuerdo con al plan general de Natorp, es necesaria una teoría de la formación que explique cómo el entorno cultural conforma las actividades intelectuales del sujeto, tesis general asumida por Cassirer para el desarrollo de su teoría del símbolo; finalmente, que los agentes formativos culturales considerados por Natorp para la formación del individuo (Estado, arte y religión, principalmente) constituyen las bases teóricas de la cultura, en las que posteriormente el alumno desarrollará su teoría del lenguaje, mito/religión, arte y ciencia como formaciones culturales. …”
