Given the growing disenchantment, on all sides, with the 'high
theory' of the 1970s and 1980s, and with the dominant master-trope
of literary and cultural reflexion of the 1980s and 1990s, the
extended metaphor or 'allegory', this volume offers a timely
re-examination of what, according to Goethe, is a deeper mode of
understanding the symbol. Via the life-long preoccupation of Ernst
Cassirer with the problems of 'symbolic form', as he christened it,
the papers collected here try to come to terms with the thinking of
Goethe and Schiller on the symbol, and on related issues. Taken
together, they attempt to elucidate the filiation of German
classicism down through the nineteenth century to the present, in
the belief that some of Cassirer's ideas have fed, often
unacknowledged, into the mainstream of contemporary cultural
theory, and that the rigour of his thought can help clear up much
of the confusion in that 'theory'.
