<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Cassirer thought of culture anthropologically as the entire complex of human modes of meaning and existence: it encompassed science, technology, language, and social life in addition to art, religion, and philosophy. This conception of culture and Cassirer's theory of symbolism anticipated much of later cultural theory. In this collection of essays, eminent Cassirer scholars examine the many different aspects of his thinking on this subject and demonstrate how pioneering and important it is to cultural studies.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Cyrus Hamlin</b> is professor of comparative literature and German and the director of graduate studies in the department of comparative literature at Yale University. <b>John Michael Krois</b> teaches philosophy at the Humboldt-Unïversität zu Berlin.</p>
