"In his Phenomenology of Cognition, Cassirer provides a
comprehensive and systematic account of the dynamic process
involved in the whole of human culture as it progresses from the
world of myth and its feeling of social belonging to the highest
abstractions of mathematics, logic and theoretical physics.
Cassirer engages with the most sophisticated and cutting-edge work
in fields ranging from ethnology to classics, egyptology and
assyriology to ethology, brain science and psychology to logic,
mathematics and theoretical physics. His command of philosophy,
literature, and the arts is superb. Echoing his work on Kant,
Cassirer begins The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms with the problem
posed by the meaning of being for philosophy since Plato. But
Cassirer also shows that this problem gains new significance with
Kant and with the development of modern culture. Cassirer weaves
his conception of the development of knowledge into a broadly
Kantian and German idealist dynamic-historical conception of
significance and of experience that refuses to accept a fundamental
opposition between literary, philosophical and scientific culture.
In consequence of his great vision grounded in careful reflection
and argument, Cassirer's systematic conception of the Copernican
cosmopolitan-cosmological revolution is still philosophically and
scientifically unmatched in contemporary philosophy on both sides
of the Atlantic and of the Pacific." Pierre Keller, Professor of
Philosophy, University of California, Riverside, USA. This new
translation makes Cassirer's seminal work available to a new
generation of scholars. Each volume includes a translator's
introduction by Steve G. Lofts, a foreword by Peter E. Gordon, a
glossary of key terms, and an index.
