Tall 8vo., orig. printed wrappers, (viii), 35, (4)pp.ads. About fine. Ernst Cassirer [1874-1945] German philosopher. Cassirer was a Prof. of Philosophy at the University of Hamburg from 1919 until 1933, when he fled Hitler's Germany and went to Oxford; he later taught at Yale and Columbia. "A leading representative of the Marburg Neo-Kantian school, Cassirer at first devoted himself to a critical-historical study of the problem of knowledge. This work bore fruit in the monumental "Das Erkenntnisproblem in der Philosophie und Wissenschaft der neueren Zeit" (3 vols. 1906-1920) and "Sustanzbegriff und Funktionsbegriff" (1910, tr. Substance and Function, 1923). In his chief work, Philosophie der Symbolischen Formen (3 vols, 1923-29, trans. Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, 1953-57) he applied the principles of Kantian philosophy toward the formation of a critique of culture. His viewe that all cultural achievements (including language, myth, and science) are the results of man's symbolic activity led Cassirer to a new conceptioin of man as the "symbolic animal." Cassirer wrote many other studies on science, myth and various historical subject." They include works on Einsteins' Theory of Relativity, and others. ". N° de ref. del artículo 21044
