Gregory S. Moss

Ernst Cassirer and the Autonomy of Language

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Gregory S. Moss examines the central arguments in Ernst Cassirer's first volume of the Philosophy of Symbolic Forms to show how Cassirer defends language as an autonomous cultural form, and how he borrows the concept of the "concrete universal" from G. W. F. Hegel in order to develop a concept of cultural autonomy.
