Extractions: INTRODUZIONE GENERALE Con l'insegnamento di Cohen e di Natorp si crea una scuola che tra i due secoli esercita una vasta influenza sulla cultura filosofica tedesca; tale influenza si propaga anche attraverso pensatori che daranno vita ad orientamenti di pensiero innovativi, come Husserl, Hartmann e, in parte, lo stesso Heidegger. E' però nell'opera di Ernst Cassirer che il legame con l'impostazione neocriticistica rimane più stretto. Esponente del Neokantismo, egli nasce nel 1874 a Breslau (Breslavia). Nel 1886 la sua famiglia si trasferisce a Berlino, dove in seguito potrà seguire le lezioni su Kant prima di Paulsen poi di Simmel. A Marburgo studia filosofia e segue i corsi di Cohen e Natorp. Nel 1898 scrive la prima stesura del Leibniz System . Nel 1902 va a Berlino insieme alla moglie, Toni Cassirer. Nel 1919 ottiene la cattedra all'università di Amburgo e nel 1929 ne diviene rettore. Nel 1933, con l'avvento al potere di Hitler, lascia la Germania perché ebreo e fino al 1935 insegna ad Oxford; perfino in Italia Giovanni Gentile si era battuto per censurare le sue opere. Si trasferisce all'università di Goteborg per qualche anno e dal 1941, negli Stati Uniti, insegna come visiting professor all'università di Yale. Tra le sue opere meritano di essere ricordate:

Extractions: Jarmo.Pulkkinen@oulu.fi ABSTRACT: The publication of Russell's The Principles of Mathematics (1903) and Couturat's Les principes des mathematiques (1905) incited several prominent neo-Kantians to make up their mind about the logicist program. In this paper, I shall discuss the critiques presented by the following neo-Kantians: Paul Natorp, Ernst Cassirer and Jonas Cohn. They argued that Russell's attempt to deduce the number concept from the class concept is a petitio principii . Russell replied that the sense in which every object is 'one' must be distinguished from the sense in which 'one' is a number. I claim that Russell was wrong in dismissing the neo-Kantian argument as an elementary logical error. To accept Russell's distinction would be to accept at least part of Russell's logicist program. The expression 'a class with one member' would presuppose the number 'one' only if one simultaneously accepted the analysis which mathematical logic provides for it (the class u has one member when u is not null and 'x and y are us' implies 'x and y are identical'). My point is that the aforementioned analysis provided by mathematical logic was something that the neo-Kantians were not ready to accept.

Extractions: Ernst Cassirer, (1874-1945) (Born: Wroclaw, Poland, July 28, 1874; died in New York, April 13, 1945) (July 14, 1899, University of Marburg) and culminating with The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms (1923-1929, the fourth and final volume of which was published posthumously). His oeuvre is difficult, with many digressions, covering philosophic subjects ranging from themes originating in ancient Greek philosophy to the subjects of existentialism, positivism, and epistemology. The Problem of Knowledge Substance and Function The Philosophy of the Enlightenment (19..), and The Myth of the State In Cassirerâs view, philosophy and science evolve from myth. Nevertheless, the mythical world is of extreme richness and therefore more dynamic than that of our theories. It is infinitely more impregnated with emotional qualities. "Science, the last step in manâs mental development," appears to Cassirer as the "highest and most characteristic attainment of human culture" (cf. An Essay on Man: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Human Culture , Yale University Press, 1962), and yet the expression of a particular condition summed up in what he called animal symbolicum (man is a symbolic animal). The human being is characterized by a unique ability: that of using symbolic forms. Through them, experiences with non-intuitive meanings are perceived. "Language," he writes, "cannot be regarded as a copy of things, but as a condition of our concepts of things [...]...language is a pre-requisite of our representation of empirical objects, of our concept of what we call the Îexternal worldâ " (cf.
Ernest Cassirer On Machiavelli's Discourses And The Prince

Extractions: It remains, however, one of the great puzzles in the history of human civilization how a man like Machiavelli, a great and noble mind, could become the advocate of "splendid wickedness." And this puzzle becomes the more bewildering if we compare The Prince with Machiavelli's other writings. There are many things in these other writings that seem to be in flagrant contradiction with the views exposed in The Prince . In his Discourses Machiavelli speaks as a resolute republican. In the struggles between the Roman aristocracy and the plebeians his sympathy is clearly on the side of the people. He defends the people against the reproach of inconstancy and fickleness; he declares that the guardianship of public freedom is safer in the hands of the commons than in those of the patricians ... Taking everything into consideration, declares Machiavelli, the people are wiser and more constant than a prince. In The Prince we hear very little of these convictions. Here the fascination of Cesare Borgia is so strong that it seems completely to eclipse all republican ideals. The methods of Cesare Borgia become the hidden center of Machiavelli's political reflections ... If Machiavelli reprehends anything in Cesare it is not his character; it is not his ruthlessness, his cruelty, his treachery and rapacity. For all this he has no word of blame. What he blames in him is the only grave error in his political career: the fact that he allowed Julius II, his sworn enemy, to be elected Pope after the death of Alexander VI. (145-46)
