Reprezentowanie jako symbolizowanie a dostęp poznawczy
Representing as symbolizing and cognitive access

Summary/Abstract: The main polarized contemporary views on cognitive access are discussed in the paper. Symbolic realism, rooted in some respects in Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of symbolic forms, is proposed as a rivalry to those views. The presented symbolic realism cannot be fitted into the dichotomy realism–antirealism, since it has features of both opposing concepts. It postulates a non-mirroring, constructive character of knowledge, not preserving any ontic elements of reality, and is loaded with epistemic elements, usually attributed only to antirealistic positions.
