Der Zauberstab der Analogie

Analogierelationen werden als heuristische Zauberstäbe und semiotische Universalien betrachtet, die uns helfen, Unbekanntes mit Bekanntem zu verbinden. Sie haben analytische, synthetische und spielerische Funktionen und können die Welt der Objekte in einen fruchtbaren Inter{AWS_ACCESS_KEY} mit der Welt der Subjekte bringen. Das Erkenntnisinteresse richtet sich daher nicht nur auf kulturgeschichtliche, philosophische und semiotische Aspekte, sondern auch auf die Analogieimplikationen unserer Sinnbildungsmuster.

The publication aims to perceive analogies as heuristic tools or as semiotic universals that facilitate the understanding of the unknown through the comparison with the known. This implies that analogies possess analytical, synthesizing, and playful functions that enable diverse resonant spaces. Furthermore, analogies serve the purpose of bridging the gap between the world of objects and the world of subjects, thereby exemplifying Cassirer's thesis that humans are genuine sign creatures capable of encoding their lives through cultural symbols. Consequently, the study of analogies extends beyond the general cultural, philosophical, and semiotic aspects of the phenomenon and delves into the analogies embedded in our linguistic, grammatical, metaphorical, functional, and textual patterns of sense-making. This endeavor seeks to establish a fruitful interplay between the world of objects and the world of subjects, fostering a meaningful interaction between them.
