LESERRE, Daniel. Símbolo y comunicación: la reflexión del lenguaje en la Crítica de la facultad de juzgar. Cuad. Sur, Filos. [online]. 2005, n.34, pp. 9-22. ISSN 1668-7434.

This paper intends: 1) to identify the central features of the concept of symbol and communication as to they are presented in the 'Critique of Aesthetic Judgement', first part of The Critique of Judgement; 2) to suggest that Gadamer's positive evaluation on the Kantian concept of symbol can be further applied to the Kantian concept of communication; 3) to underline how Kant, working out both concepts, makes explicit a transcendental reflection on language. Thus, the reflective aesthetic judgement projects a model as to the understanding of linguistic and cultural diversity, which are not merely empiric but ideal.
