E. Cassirer (1874-1945)-German novantian philosopher. His main difficulty was the "philosophy of symbolic forms" (1923-1929) This outstanding philosophical work is a number of interconnected historical and systematic studies devoted to language, myth, religion and scientific knowledge that continue and develop the main ideas of the previous work of the Cashier. The general concept for him is no longer "cognition", but "spirit", identified with "spiritual culture" and "culture" as a whole, as opposed to nature ". The means by which all design of the spirit takes place, the cashier finds in the sign, symbol, or "symbolic form". In the "symbolic function", the cashier believes, the very essence of human consciousness opens - its ability to exist through the synthesis of opposites. The cashier sees the meaning of the historical process in the “self -liberation of man”, the task of the philosophy of culture is to identify the invariant structures that remain unchanged in the course of historical development.
