Seven papers explore features and applications of Ernst Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms. Among their topics are myth and religion; his and Oswald Spengler's philosophies of culture in the light of a political polemic; Cassirer, Warburg, and the irrational; and his concrete theory of culture on the 200th anniversary of his death. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
