As compared with the other animals man lives not merely in a broader reality; he lives,so to speak, in a new dimension of reality. . .No longer in merely physical universe,man lives in a symbolic universe . . .He has so enveloped himself in linguistic forms,in artistic images, in mythical symbols or religious rites that he cannot see or know anything except by the interposition of this artificial medium. (Cassirer, 1944,pp. 42–44.)
