Abstract
This paper considers the self-knowledge construction process proposed by Ernst Cassirer. The aim is to identify the tension between life and mind as the basic antithesis and their symbolic mediations (myth, language and science) as cultural resources which allow construction of a self-knowledge concept. Through a critical review of Philosophie der symbolischen Formen and An Essay on Man it will be established that, i) self-knowledge is a triadic project that integrates each previous phase, ii) which requires a functional research of the work and of human culture to iii) maintain a tension that distinguishes but without separating the agent as a living being and his self-awareness as a spiritual product.
