Definind limbajul. De la Cassirer la Lacan

Noticing continuities and discontinuities between the various references made by Lacan and Cassirer regarding language, we have extracted within these pages a few sequences from the language definitions provided by the two scholars. Thus, we underline that, in spite of a perception based on different systems and having different goals, the two visions are joined by the purpose of establishing the role of the individual, of the myth, of the expressivity and sensitivity when producing language as a symbolic form, in the case of Cassirer and by the purpose of the individual being conditioned by the language, in the case of Lacan, respectively.
