Significant function, symbolizing function and symbolic dynamism. Study from some contributions of the philosophy of Xavier Zubiri

Abstract

The present work intends to offer some elements in which it will be possible to enable, focus and bring in context the question on the nature of actions and symbolic elements. The study will be developed around three notions: the signifer function, the symbolizing function and the symbolizing dynamisms. The path that is proposed to achieve this goal, one hand, goes through interdisciplinary interstices, in this case, through dialogue among some of the best accomplishments of various disciplines which are related to the language and the symbols management, and on the other hand on the analysis provided by the Noology of X. Zubiri, as well as some of his philosophical elements associated to God and the Mankind. The findings of experimental disciplines allow to describe the operation of the signifer function and the symbolizing function. In the end –always provisional- we confirm that, the nature of the symbolic dynamisms explains noologically and distinguishes conveniently the symbolling function, is the zubirian contribution about reasoning March.
