Ernst Cassirer - The Logic of The Cultural Sciences

The Logic of The Cultural Sciences

In "The Logic of the Cultural Sciences" (1942) Cassirer argues that objective and universal validity can not only be achieved in the sciences, but also in practical, cultural, moral, and aesthetic phenomenon. Although inter-subjective objective validity in the natural sciences derives from universal laws of nature, Cassirer asserts that an analogous type of inter-subjective objective validity takes place in the cultural sciences.
