1. Ernst Cassirer

   Ernst Alfred Cassirer ( kah-SEER-ər, kə-, German: [ˈɛʁnst kaˈsiːʁɐ]; July 28, 1874 – April 13, 1945) was a German philosopher. Trained within the Neo-Kantian Marburg School, he initially followed his mentor Hermann Cohen in attempting to supply an idealistic philosophy of science. After Cohen's death in 1918, Cassirer developed a theory of symbolism and used it to expand phenomenology of knowledge into a more general philosophy of culture. Cassirer was one of the leading 20th-century advocates of philosophical idealism. His most famous work is the Philosophy of Symbolic Forms (1923–1929). Though his work received a mixed reception shortly after his death, more recent scholarship has remarked upon Cassirer's role as a strident defender of the moral idealism of the Enlightenment era and the cause of liberal democracy at a time when the rise of fascism had made such advocacy unfashionable. Within the international Jewish community, Cassirer's work has additionally been seen as part of a long tradition of thought on ethical philosophy.

1. ernst cassirer

   Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945) was a German-Jewish philosopher, intellectual historian and one of the leading exponents of neo-Kantian thought in the 20th century. He is best known for his work on the philosophy of symbolic forms which explores forms of human cultural expression, including language, myth, religion, art, science, and history. Cassirer believed that these forms did not just represent the world, but played active roles in creating our perception of it. His work influenced a wide range of fields, from philosophy and sociology to anthropology and art history. Cassirer was forced to leave Germany during the rise of Hitler and spent the last years of his life in the United States.
