摘　　要：通过对文化学主题在哲学中的源头、文化学方法在哲学中的产生、文化学名称的出现及特定研究对象进行追溯与评论,提出在符号结构分析基础上的文化学已成为“浮现中的理论视野”。其要义在于,文化学应是关于符号负载文化的形态、属性、结构、功能或用法的学问,关于符号结构的符号学是文化学的核心内容。符号是文化的构成(与拆解)单位,人们运用符号打造各类文化品,通过对符号和符号产品的分析,就可以了解整个文化的构造,进而开展各种类型具体的文化研究。同时,在人类社会符号交往空前活跃、新的符号产品层出不穷的21世纪,勾画以符号研究为核心的文化学学科地图,不仅有助于各相关文化学科研究及广义文化批评的推进,也可更好地使用各种符号工具参与文化交往及各种社会实践,在不断提升人类文化认知水平的过程中推进人类文明向更高层次跃升。By tracing and commenting on the origin of its subject,the emergence of its methodology in philosophy,and the appearance of the names and specific research objects,this paper puts forward that culturology on the basis of symbolic structure analysis has become an“emerging theoretical horizon”.Culturology studies how symbols carries culture,the form,attribute,structure,function or usage,in which the semiotics of the symbolic structure is its core content.Symbols are the constituent(and disassembling)units of culture,which are used to create various cultural products.Thus,by analysis of symbols and symbolic products,we can understand the structure of the whole culture,and carry out various types of specific cultural research.At the same time,in the 21st century where symbolic communication in human society is unprecedentedly active and new symbolic products are emerging endlessly,sketching a map of culturology with symbol research at the core can not only help the research of related disciplines and the promotion of general cultural criticism,but also make us better use of various symbols tools to participate in cultural exchanges and various social practices,improving the level of human cultural awareness and advancing human civilization to a higher level.
