Abstract

The purpose of this article is to deal with the concept of meaning, the phenomena of meaning, and the theory of meaning in terms of the Cultural Hermeneutics. So this study basically differs from the theory of meaning in tradition of the Analytic Philosophy and Semantics in the European Phenomenology. Both of them have something in common, especially in context of the linguistic meaning. But in this study we will discuss the perceptual meaning and the actional meaning in terms of the Cultural Hermeneutics in order to get over the linguistic meaning. In this context, we will discuss the problems as follows: Can only Human Being discover and pursuit the meaning? What is the difference between Human Being and Animals? Can only Human Being be the subject of creation of meaning? Can only Human Being enjoy the culture?
 So, I will argue that the theory of meaning in the Cultural Hermeneutics has to include the perceptual meaning and the actional meaning. In this context, I will intensively deal with Uexküll(1864-1944)’s the theory of meaning. Lastly I will discuss Cassirer(1874-1945)’s evaluation to the Uexküll’s view-points.
