This new translation of The of the Cultural Logic Sciences
(formerly entitled The Logic of the Humanities) makes Ernst
Cassirer's classic study, long out of print, available to English
readers. A German Jew living in exile at the beginning of the
Second World War, Cassirer wrote this book -- one of his clearest
and most concise -- in response to the crises besetting his era. It
represented to him a rethinking and completion of his magnum opus
The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms. S. G. Lofts's translation stays
close to the original German and accurately reflects the echoes of
the philosophical debates of Cassirer's day.
In the book's five linked studies, Cassirer considers the
intellectual structure of the disciplines we commonly refer to as
the humanities. He defines and justifies the basic philosophical
perspective of the philosophy of symbolic forms, and he contributes
a wealth of ideas to continuing debates about culture and what is
unique in human nature.
