Paperback. Condición: Good. The Symbolic Forms has long been considered the greatest of Cassirer?s works.  Into it he poured all the resources of his vast learning about language and myth, religion, art, and science?the various creative symbolizing activities and constructions through which man has expressed himself and given intelligible objective form to this experience. ?These three volumes alone (apart from Cassirer?s other papers and books) make an outstanding contribution to epistemology and to the human power of abstraction.  It is rather as if ?The Golden Bough? had been written in philosophical rather than in historical terms.??F.I.G. Rawlins, Nature.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. In this important study Ernst Cassirer analyzes the non-rational thought processes that go to make up culture. He demonstrates that beneath both language and myth there lies an unconscious grammar of experience, whose categories and canons are not those of logical thought. He shows that this prelogical logic is not merely an undeveloped state of rationality, but something basically different, and that this archaic mode of thought still has enormous power over even our most rigorous thought, in language, poetry and myth.The author analyzes brilliantly such seemingly diverse (yet related) phenomena as the metaphysics of the Bhagavat Gita, the Melanesian concept of Mana, the Naturphilosophie of Schelling, modern poetry, Ancient Egyptian religion, and symbolic logic. He covers a vast range of material that is all too often neglected in studies of human thought.These six essays are of great interest to the student of philosophy or the philosophy of science, the historian, or the anthropologist. They are also remarkably timely for students of literature, what with the enormous emphasis placed upon myth in modern literary speculation. This book is not superficial speculation by a dabbler, but a penetrating study by one of the most profound and sensitive philosophic minds of our time.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Despite our admiration for Renaissance achievement in the arts and sciences, in literature and classical learning, the rich and diversified philosophical thought of the period remains largely unknown. This volume illuminates three major currents of thought dominant in the earlier Italian Renaissance: classical humanism (Petrarch and Valla), Platonism (Ficino and Pico), and Aristotelianism (Pomponazzi). A short and elegant work of the Spaniard Vives is included to exhibit the diffusion of the ideas of humanism and Platonism outside Italy. Now made easily accessible, these texts recover for the English reader a significant facet of Renaissance learning.…
