The Originary Phenomena (III-2010)
Tuesday, October 11th, 2011Born of an idea of John Michael Krois, the third volume of Cassirer Studies offers a thorough discussion of Cassirer’s “originary phenomena”, starting from the most famous of Cassirer’s posthumous works: On Basis Phenomena. Each contribution paves the way for a multifaceted Auseinandersetzung between the philosophy of symbolic forms and the contemporary philosophies of the origin and the fundament.
