ABSTRACT

The goal of this study is to understand the function and meaning of technology by examining technology culturally and phenomenologically, focusing on Ernst Cassirer’s symbolic function, especially the function of representation. First, this study intends to grasp technology as a certain mental structure, and asks about the nature of technology and the conditions for the possibility of operation and formation of technology. For this purpose, among the symbolic functions, especially the representation function is taken as a basic concept. The representation function is involved when an image depicting something has a referential relationship to it. When technology is conceived in terms of the function of representation, the relationship between technology and spirit, between technology and form will be revealed. Second, this study considers that it is necessary to elucidate the relationship between technology and other symbolic form, that is, art in order to grasp the overall meaning of culture. In this way, it would like to reveal that technology and art can reach their highest achievements through the free spirit and creativity of human beings, and that moral and practical self- consciousness is involved in the achievement of this culture.
