La filosofia di Ernst Cassirer si attesta oggi come una tra le prospettive più attuali e rilevanti venute alla luce nell’arco dell’ultimo secolo. Muovendo dal concetto di “funzione simbolica”, le sue ricerche hanno spaziato dalla filosofia della matematica alla critica della mitologia nazifascista. Il libro ne ripercorre lo sviluppo dinamico unitario nella forma di una biografia intellettuale, dagli studi giovanili all’esilio negli Stati Uniti, passando dagli anni della Prima guerra mondiale all’impegno in difesa della fragile Repubblica di Weimar. Cassirer, oltre a essere un fermo oppositore del nazismo e uno dei primi a notarne i risvolti mitico-magici, fu un filosofo della scienza in grado di dialogare con Einstein sulla teoria della relatività, nonché uno dei più grandi storici della filosofia del XX secolo. Nella sua opera, l’analisi critica della mitologia e quella della fisica, come quella dell’etica e dell’arte, convergono verso un unico punto di fuga – la “forma simbolica” – seguendo così il filo rosso di uno sviluppo sempre aperto ma sistematico: una metamorfosi, che, di forma in forma, raccolga in un continuum ogni espressione culturale. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Ernst Cassirer's philosophy stands today as one of the most current and relevant perspectives to come to light over the last century. Moving from the concept of "symbolic function", his research has ranged from the philosophy of mathematics to the criticism of Nazi-fascist mythology. The book traces its dynamic development in the form of an intellectual biography, from his youthful studies to his exile in the United States, passing from the years of the First World War to his commitment in defense of the fragile Weimar Republic. Cassirer, in addition to being a firm opponent of Nazism and one of the first to notice its mythical-magical implications, was a philosopher of science able to dialogue with Einstein on the theory of relativity, as well as one of the greatest historians of philosophy of the 20th century. In his work, the critical analysis of mythology and that of physics, like that of ethics and art, converge towards a single vanishing point - the "symbolic form" - thus following the red thread of an always open but systematic: a metamorphosis which, from form to form, brings together every cultural expression in a continuum.]
