For a Logic of Cultural Sciences: Croce and Cassirer
Abstract
This paper is dedicated to the comparaison between the theories of Ernst Cassirer and Benedetto Croce about The Logik of Humanities and others Cassirer’s Essais on the «Philosophy of Culture». The first part presents the concrete passages of mutual criticism on language and its relations with art and in relation to the interpretation of the modern history of philosophy between Humanism and Enlightenment. Brief final remarks recapitulate their radically different ways of understanding idealism with respect to the spiritual activity of man in the history.
