Abstract

In this chapter we maintain and demonstrate that Cassirer with his philosophy of symbolic forms is liberated from, and rises above and beyond neo-Kantianism, especially as it was formulated by the Marburg School. We focus specifically on the Marburg School and only mention the tenets of the South-West or Baden School of neo-Kantianism in passing. Cassirer's relation to the Baden School is relevant, but Cassirer was primarily influenced by and followed the Marburg School, albeit in new and various ways.
