In this article we propose an interpretation of the cultural significance of Quattrocento pictorial perspective, based on rhetorical assumptions about the ways in which persuasive communication is established. Through painting treaties by Leonardo and Alberti, we will explore some rhetorical features (the staging, the ethos, the discursive disposition and the art of memory) involved in Renaissance pictorial perspective. Although some approaches have interpreted it as a symbolic form that expressed a certain worldview, we conclude that Renaissance pictorial perspective basically provided a rhetoric scenography for modern memory.

El artículo presenta un análisis sobre la relación entre la filosofía y el texto bíblico. Se destaca el interés que tiene la disciplina de la filosofía en la Biblia, de cuyas textos extrae interpretaciones, y más aun los métodos implementados para elaborar las críticas a lo largo de las distintas épocas y civilizaciones.

Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms represents a symbolic -cultural- transformation of kantian transcendental philosophy, on the base of human being's symbolic character. There is no more being in itself, but symbolized being, and as a result from this philosophy only can be done from culture. Symbol, as basis of the objective meaning, is the ground of human communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
