Filozofia form symbolicznych

Wprowadzenie

Cassirer wrote the three volumes as a professor in Hamburg, where the Warburg Library of cultural history gave him rich material; they appeared in 1923 (language), 1925 (mythical thought) and 1929 (the phenomenology of knowledge). The work extends Kant’s question about the conditions of knowledge to culture as a whole: each symbolic form – language, myth, religion, art, science – has its own way of giving the world meaning and order. The volumes trace a development from expressive, mythical meaning to the purely relational concepts of mathematics and physics. Drafts for a fourth volume were published only long after his death. The work is read today in cultural theory, semiotics and the philosophy of language.
