He occupies a special place among the most famous thinkers of the first half of the 20th century. Possessing encyclopedic knowledge, Cassirer combines in his works comprehensive argumentation and depth of thought with clarity of presentation, a broad, cultural view of the problems of knowledge. This edition includes the book by E. Cassirer: “The Individual and the Cosmos in the Philosophy of the Renaissance” and an appendix: Nikolai Kuzansky. A simpleton about the mind; Charles de Beauvel. A book about a sage.
