摘要：本文从语源角度探讨城市的本质。在西方语言中,城市的语源来自古印欧语根kei,表示栖息之地,并由此引伸出故乡、家庭、关爱等意象,其基本意象为“坐”。在原型心理学看来,城市是大母神的象征,大母神既有故乡、家庭、关爱等意味,也是政治统治、社会稳定的基础。古埃及大母神伊西斯的名字正暗含着政治统治的“坐”。城市之“坐”的深层意蕴与海德格尔的存在观念有内在联系。因此,城市的本质反映了人的存在本性。
This paper makes etymological researches on the essence of city, In western languages, the original meaning of “city” is to lie , “that which is set down”. Set and sit are cognate. So sitting becomes an important feature of city. In the view of archetypal psychology, “city” is a symbol of The Great Mother. The goddess Isis of ancient Egypt is also a symbol of The Great Mother, and her name implies sitting （Isis contain sis , and “sis” is an a variation of “sit”）, denoting her eugenesis, power and stabilization. According to Heidegger＇ s philosophy, the sitting of city is related to dasein. It is an original state. So people in city （citizen） reflect their mind nature.
