Abstract(s)
Tem-se por um facto indelével que Kant não pensou a questão da linguagem, ou os seus problemas adjacentes, e que a questão não era para o grande filósofo de grande relevância. O presente ensaio propõe-se oferecer um contributo para uma opinião contrária. O objecto da nossa reflexão é a abordagem kantiana ao tópico antropológico da faculdade de designação (Bezeichnungsvermögen, Facultas Signatrix). A saber, propomo-nos abordar a oposição kantiana entre palavra e símbolo, enquanto diferentes aplicações da faculdade de designação; pensar as diferentes disposições das faculdades do ânimo por estas requeridas, e suas diferentes potencialidades de dizer o Eu no mundo; e, uma vez pensada até ao extremo a diferença entre estas, pensar a sugestão kantiana de uma possível cooperação entre palavra e símbolo, como ela tem lugar na metáfora poética.
It is commonly accepted that Kant did not reflect on the question of language, or on its adjacent problems, and that the question was of little relevance for the great philosopher. The present article intends to offer a contribution towards a contrary opinion. The object of our investigation is Kant’s approach to the anthropological topic of the faculty of designation (Bezeichnungsvermögen, Facultas Signatrix). Namely, we propose to approach Kant’s opposition between word and symbol as different applications of the faculty of designation; to reflect on the different dispositions of the faculties of the spirit required by such applications, and their different potentialities of saying the I in the world; and, once we think the difference between the latter to its limit, to present Kant’s suggestion of a possible cooperation between word and symbol, as it takes place in the poetic metaphor.
