Description
This bookāthe first commentary on Ernst Cassirerās Metaphysics of Symbolic Formsāprovides an introduction to the metaphysical views that underlie the philosopherās conceptions of symbolic form and human culture.
Thora Ilin Bayer focuses on the meaning of Cassirerās claim that philosophy is not itself a symbolic form but the thought around which all aspects of human activity are seen as a whole. Underlying the symbolic forms are Cassirerās two metaphysical principles, spirit (Geist) and life, which interact to produce the reality of the human world. Bayer shows how these two principles of Cassirerās early philosophy are connected with the phenomenology of his later philosophy, which centers on his conception of ābasis phenomenaāāself, will, and work.
