Описание к видео What is the philosophy of Ernst Cassirer? | Philosophy

Ernst Cassirer, a philosopher known for his work in the Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, posited the idea that humans are "symbolic animals". In his view, while animals perceive the world through instincts and direct sensory perception, humans create a universe of symbolic meanings. This means that humans have the ability to construct and interpret symbols, which in turn shape their understanding of the world around them. Cassirer's philosophy highlights the importance of symbolism in human cognition and the ways in which it influences our perception and interpretation of the world.
