THE INFLUENCE OF GESTALT THEORY ON ERNST CASSIRER’S PHENOMENOLOGY OF SYMBOLIC FORMS
PublicationIn the opinion of many scholars the notion of symbolic pregnancy is one of the key concepts in Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of symbolic forms. Without a proper under-standing of its conceptual frame Cassirer’s philosophy lacks a consistent foundation. The notion symbolic pregnancy offers the mechanism of distinction of symbolic forms. The newest investigations (also in unpublished or less known, neglected writings of the philosopher)...
