Bøker i Cassirers Philosophy of Symbolic Forms (YUP)-serien

'The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms' has long been considered by many who knew it in the original German as the greatest of Ernst 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 his experience.

This is the fourth volume of Cassirer's "The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms". In these writings, Cassirer grounds his conception of symbolic forms on a particular notion of human nature and discusses Basis Phenomena.
