More about the book
Exploring the role of symbols in human existence, Ernst Cassirer's "Essay on Man" argues that without them, humanity would remain trapped in a life limited to biological needs and practical interests, much like the prisoners in Plato's cave. The work delves into how symbols enable individuals to understand themselves and navigate the complexities of their universe, highlighting the importance of symbolic thought in differentiating humans from other species. This seminar paper, graded highly, discusses these philosophical themes in the context of 20th-century thought.
