The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms: Volume 4: The Metaphysics of Symbolic Forms (The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms , Vol 4)

This fourth volume of The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, available now for the first time in English, fittingly concludes Ernst Cassirer`s magnum opus. At his death in 1945, the great twentieth-century philosopher left manuscripts for this final volume. In these writings Cassirer grounds his conception of symbolic forms on a particular notion of human nature and discusses Basis Phenomena.
