Book Description
In this classic work of intellectual history, Ernst Cassirer provides both a cogent synthesis & a penetrating analysis of one of history's greatest intellectual epochs: the Enlightenment. Arguing that there was a common foundation beneath the diverse strands of thought of this period, he shows how Enlightenment philosophers drew upon the ideas of preceding centuries even while radically transforming them to fit the modern world. In Cassirer's view, the Enlightenment liberated philosophy from the realm of pure thought & restored it to its true place as an active & creative force thru which knowledge of the world is achieved.
Ernst Cassirer
Ernst Cassirer (1874 - 1945) was a German philosopher and historian of philosophy who belonged to the so-called Marburg School of "neo-Kantian philosophy". He is best known as the most prominent commentator of Kantian critical philosophy in the twentieth century. He left Germany in 1933, and died in New York. Among his most famous works are: “Essence and Function” (1910), “Freedom and Form” (1916), “Philosophy of Symbolic Forms” (1923 - 1929), “Myth and the State” (1942), “Symbol, Myth and Culture” (1979), “Language and Myth.” (1925).
