An Essay on Man is an original synthesis of contemporary knowledge, a unique interpretation of the intellectual crisis of our time, and a brilliant vindication of manʹs ability to resolve human problems by the courageous use of his mind. What the thinkers of the past have thought of the human race, what can be said of its art, language, and capacities for good and evil in the light of modern knowledge are discussed by a great philosopher who had a profound experience of the past and of his own time. -- from http://yalepress.yale.edu (Sep. 5, 2011).

The philosophy of symbolic forms
by Ernst Cassirer
(
Book
)
106 editions published between 1923 and 2010 in 11 languages and held by 1,679 libraries worldwide "La Philosophie des formes symboliques est une tentative pour fonder une philosophie de la culture - la culture non seulement entendue comme la pensée théorique et l'activité artistique, mais aussi comme la pratique humaine en général, ce qui inclut aussi bien l'usage de l'outil et les troubles du langage (tome I) que les cérémonies religieuses et l'organisation d'une cité (tome II) ou la pensée scientifique et ses catégories (tome III). Il s'agit pour Cassirer d'écarter à la fois la spéculation philosophique du XIXe siècle avec son discours historique sur l'absolu (même si Hegel et Schelling sont souvent présents dans le discours cassirérien), et la psychologie empirique qui rapporte l'ensemble des productions humaines à certains lois de la "nature humaine". Dans un projet qui n'est pas sans rappeler Husserl, Cassirer entreprend de fonder un discours rigoureux sur les manifestations culturelles de l'homme (ce qu'il appelle une "phénoménologie de la culture") qui ne rapporterait pas celles-ci à "autre chose", à un terme substantiel, une instance ultime et extérieure. Le langage, par exemple, doit être compris en tant que tel, dans la spécificité de sa nature et par sa légalité propre. A l'interprétation "allégorique" des produits culturels, qui s'efforce de les rapporter à une instance extérieure, ce qui a pour effet d'annihiler leur spécificité et leur diversité, Cassirer veut substituer une interprétation symbolique. La fonction symbolique, la "forme symbolique", n'est donc rien d'autre que la loi de production de ces produits, l'orientation générale qui, par exemple, transforme une pratique magique en geste religieux, et qui confère à un objet resté identique un sens inédit. On abandonne ici les lois universelles de la nature humaine puisque, à l'inverse, ce sont les lois de production elles-mêmes, les "formes symboliques", qui distinguent et définissent (génétiquement, à la manière de Spinoza) les domaines culturels. Répondant dans une certaine mesure à des objections d'Heidegger, Cassirer entreprend de définir le statut de son discours philosophique -- discours " critique " au sens kantien, qui s'efforce de dégager les catégories fondamentales de la pensée humaine -- par rapport à ce qui en est l'origine même, la pensée scientifique et ses catégories. Quelle est la place de la science et la légalité scientifique dans le système en construction des formes symboliques, des fonctions culturelles (notamment par rapport à la pensée mythique) et quel est le statut du discours " philosophique " qui tente de construire et d'unifier ce système ? Faut-il considérer le discours scientifique comme le modèle ultime (historiquement et structurellement) des formes symboliques?" -- from covers.
The individual and the cosmos in Renaissance philosophy
by Ernst Cassirer
(
Book
)
77 editions published between 1927 and 2010 in 7 languages and held by 1,642 libraries worldwide "This provocative volume, one of the most important interpretive works on the philosophical thought of the Renaissance, has long been regarded as a classic in its field. Ernst Cassirer here examines the changes brewing in the early stages of the Renaissance, tracing the interdependence of philosophy, language, art, and science; the newfound recognition of individual consciousness; and the great thinkers of the period - from da Vinci and Galileo to Pico della Mirandola and Giordano Bruno. The Individual and the Cosmos in Renaissance Philosophy discusses the importance of fifteenth-century philosopher Nicholas Cusanus, the concepts of freedom and necessity, and the subject-object problem in Renaissance thought."--pub. desc.
