The symbolic construction of reality

"In 1933 eminent philosopher Ernst Cassirer (1874-1945) fled Nazi Germany for the United States. His fame in Europe having already been established and subsequently confirmed through a public debate with Martin Heidegger in 1929, Cassirer would go on to become a noteworthy influence on American culture. The Symbolic Construction of Reality collects eleven essays by a wide range of contributors from different fields. Each essay analyzes a different aspect of his legacy, reassessing its significance for our contemporary world and bringing much-needed attention to this seminal thinker."--Jacket.
