Metaphysical considerations of Cassirer's philosophy : an unexplored heritage
P. 273-280
- Admittedly Cassirer didn't address metaphysics directly as a subject in itself and he has never been known as a metaphysician or even as a logician. Nevertheless, there are logical and metaphysical considerations that led him to the fundamental work of philosophical history and anthropological philosophy which made him famous. My purpose here is to take seriously this logical and metaphysical considerations and to ask for their significations in an erkenntnistheoretische perspective. I'm not going to read between the lines in order to find a metaphysical theory by Cassirer in the literal sense but I would try to reconstruct the concept of metaphysics itself through Cassirer's philosophy when the word metaphysics itself still holds a pejorative connotation and this is, I think, the major reason why this part of Cassirer's heritage remains, so far I see, unexplored.
