Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the legitimacy of the transition from logic to ontology in the work of Ernest Cassirer "Substanzbegriff und Funktionsbegriff. Untersuchungen über die Grundfragen der Erkenntniskritik". After analysing some aspects of the classical theory of abstraction (mainly its Aristotelian-Lockean version, as well as Mill's inductive logic), Cassirer reveals a number of problems associated with both the use of this theory in the study of modern sciences and its application to the analysis of the phenomenon of thinking in general. For Cassirer, the classical theory of abstraction leads to paradoxes and difficulties due to the correlation between the volume and content of the concept and the process of generalisation. Cassirer solves these problems by turning to mathematics. The author demonstrates that this text by Cassirer is one of the classic examples of philosophical analysis of the foundations of logic.

欧内斯特-卡西勒哲学中的概念创造问题和对经典抽象理论的批判

文章主要分析欧内斯特-卡西勒的著作《Substanzbegriff und Funktionsbegriff.Untersuchungen über die Grundfragen der Erkenntniskritik"。在分析了古典抽象理论的某些方面（主要是亚里士多德-洛克的版本以及密尔的归纳逻辑）之后，卡西勒揭示了在现代科学研究中使用这一理论以及将其应用于分析一般思维现象时所遇到的一系列问题。在卡西勒看来，由于概念的数量和内容与概括过程之间的相关性，经典抽象理论导致了悖论和困难。卡西勒通过求助于数学来解决这些问题。作者证明，卡西勒的这篇文字是对逻辑学基础进行哲学分析的经典范例之一。

期刊介绍： Sententiae is historico-philosophical open access journal. Journal created by Modern philosophy''s research group (Pascalian society). Founded in 2000. Published twice a year, in June and December. Our purpose is to foster the development of a wide gamut of contemporary approaches, active implementation of them into research practice, and establishment of high standards of teaching philosophy basing on the achievements of contemporary history of philosophy. Our key priority is to ensure the empirical substantiation of historico-philosophical conceptions, basing on the criteria of literality, exhaustivity, contextuality and taking into account the existing speculative interpretations. Jean-Luc Marion was the first to formulate this set of criteria in 1998 as the main features of contemporary researches of Descartes''s philosophy. We regard these principles as the methodological background of any substantiated research method in the history of philosophy. Publishing materials on all historico-philosophical topics, we pay special attention to researches in terminology, issues of philosophical translation and untranslatability, manuscript researches (including handwritten heritage of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy professors of ХVІІ–ХVІІІ century), and cover the development of large-scale projects in this area. We also publish new bilingual and commented Ukrainian translations of classical foreign philosophical texts. Among our priorities there is also a coverage of the history of philosophical thought in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and its relations to the wider cultural context (theology, literature, natural sciences, political ideology etc). The content of each issue is distributed according to Genre Sections and Thematic Headings. Currently there are 10 Genre Sections.
