| Sumario: | This volume explores the philosophical legacy of Ernst Cassirer, emphasizing his theory of symbolic forms. Through eleven essays, contributors examine Cassirer's influence on philosophy, history, cultural studies, ethics, and politics. The book reevaluates his work in light of contemporary critiques and highlights the distinctiveness of his ideas compared to Kantian and neo-Kantian traditions. The essays were initially presented at a symposium in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, reflecting a broad scholarly collaboration. Intended for academics and researchers, this collection delves into Cassirer's expansive definition of symbols, which encompasses language, art, myth, religion, and science, and contrasts with traditional philosophical interpretations.
