Das Thema des in englischer Sprache verfassten The Myth of the State dem letzten Werk, das Cassirer vor seinem Tod im Manuskript zum Abschluss bringen konnte ist die Wiederkehr des politischen Totalitarismus, dem er selbst nur durch Emigration entkam. Der Text belegt, dass die in der Philosophie der symbolischen Formen entwickelte Kritik der Kultur auch den Rahmen fur eine Theorie des Politischen absteckt und dazu notigt, auf anthropologischer Ebene die Einheit von animal symbolicum und zoon politikon zu denken.Cassirer beginnt mit einer Analyse der destruktiven Macht des mythischen Denkens. Er untersucht seine Struktur, seine Beziehung zur Sprache, seinen affektiven Charakter und seine soziale Funktion. Im Anschluss beschreibt Cassirer in einem ideengeschichtlichen Aufri die Hauptlinien der politischen Theorien von Platon bis zum fruhen 19. Jahrhundert, um dann im letzten Teil die Wiedergeburt des Mythos im 20. Jahrhundert zu behandeln.Cassirer schliet, dass der politische Mythos nicht endgultig uberwunden, sondern nur gezahmt werden kann. Dazu kann die Philosophie beitragen, jedoch nicht, indem sie ihn argumentativ zu widerlegen versucht, sondern indem sie ihn verstehen und so bekampfen hilft.Eine deutsche Ubersetzung Vom Mythus des Staates ist in der Philosophischen Bibliothek (Band 541) lieferbar.

Angeregt von Freunden und Kollegen, legte Ernst Cassirer 1944 im amerikanischen Exil mit dem Essay on Man eine komprimierte und zugleich uberarbeitete Fassung seiner Kulturphilosophie vor, in der er die dreibandige Philosophie der symbolischen Formen in ihren Hauptgedanken fortfuhrt. Dabei wird der wohl wichtigste Bestandteil der Cassirerschen Kulturphilosophie, die Idee der Humanitat, thematisiert und zusammenfassend begrundet. Mit Bezugnahme auf das komplexe und vielschichtige Gefuge von Sprache, Mythos, Religion, Kunst, Geschichte und Wissenschaft bestimmt Cassirer den Menschen als animal symbolicum, als ein Wesen, das Symbole schafft und sich durch Symbole verstandigt.Dank seiner klaren, verstandlichen Sprache und Argumentationsstruktur ermoglicht der Essay on Man nicht nur dem philosophischen Fachpublikum, sondern auch einem weiteren Kreis interessierter Leser den Zugang zu Cassirers Denken. Er darf somit als allgemeine Einfuhrung in die Philosophie Cassirers verstanden werden. Inhalt:Part I. What is man?I. The Crisis in Mans Knowledge of HimselfII.

Schopenhauer es el filósofo más destacado de finales del siglo xix. Aunque tardó casi toda su vida en obtener el reconocimiento público, desde la publicación de Parerga y paralipómena el éxito ya no lo abandono. Hoy es un clasico indiscutible del pensamiento y uno de los filosofos mas leidos.Este libro da a conocer las principales tesis de la filosofia de Schopenhauer. Comienza con la teoria de la representacion y la de la voluntad, inseparables una de la otra, que ayudan a entender el conjunto de la naturaleza. Ese es el reino del dolor y el sufrimiento contra el cual se alza el placer estetico, que actua como un balsamo para aliviar las miserias de la vida cotidiana. Y culmina con un proceso de liberacion gracias a una filosofia practica en la que la piedad es la base que utiliza Schopenhauer para elaborar su teoria del amor universal.

Los últimos días de Immanuel Kant sigue siendo uno de los textos más singulares y elaborados de Thomas de Quincey. Gracias en buena medida a las memorias firmadas por Ehregott Wasianski, el ensayista ingles pudo prestar sus palabras al fiel amigo de Kant y relatar los ultimos momentos del celebre filosofo ilustrado. Siguiendo meticulosamente el flujo de los acontecimientos, De Quincey nos da cuenta en sus paginas de las preocupaciones que invaden ahora a ese pobre espiritu en otro tiempo brillante. Atrapado por su vejez y por sus problemas de salud, el filosofo aparece retratado como un hombre agotado y enfermo.Sus perdidas de memoria y de equilibrio afligen a Wasianski, que intenta por todos los medios hacer su vida mas llevadera hasta el ultimo aliento. No hay que perder de vista, sin embargo, que, aun apoyandose en los testimonios de algunos de sus coetaneos, lo que De Quincey pone ante el lector es una obra de no ficcion especulativa, sujeta a intromisiones discursivas y a sutilisimas desviaciones biograficas, y en la que la figura del filosofo es sublimada al tiempo que satirizada en sus facetas mas intimas. De esta mezcla de ironia y ternura termina por desprenderse una profunda melancolia, la del tiempo que pasa y que destruye inexorablemente hasta las mentes mas preclaras.

De los 10 textos que Rousseau escribió en el libro titulado Ensoñaciones de un paseante solitario, para esta obra se seleccionaron cuatro: el primero, el segundo, el cuarto y el quinto. Escritos en una prosa reflexiva y poetica, estos textos transitan entre el ensayo, la narracion intima y la autobiografia. Segun el autor, su proposito es "hacer un registro fiel de sus paseos solitarios y de las ensoñaciones que los llenan" pero lo mas destacable de ellos es que exponen temas universales de la filosofia como la relacion entre verdad y justicia, la conquista de una libre soledad, la belleza fantasmagorica de ciertas ilusiones e ideas, o el constante desafio socratico de conocerse a uno mismo.

La biografía del filósofo que gobernó la opinión del siglo XVIII, figura totémica que aún hoy representa el librepensamiento y los mejores valores de la libertad individual.Desde la publicación de su gran poema nacional, La Henriada, hasta su gran texto de batalla, fundacional y referencial, Tratado sobre la tolerancia, Voltaire hizo de su pluma su mejor arma de guerra. Esta capacidad de accion y persuasion, junto a su dominio para influir en la opinion publica, le granjeo mucha animosidad por parte del statu quo, desde el gobierno frances hasta las altas esferas religiosas.A lo largo de su vida, el pensador lucho contra el exilio y la censura, desde su encierro en La Bastilla, sin juicio ni acusacion clara, hasta la enemistad con Luis xv y Federico ii, quien lo persiguio y torturo de manera perversa. No obstante, siempre se mantuvo firme en su lucha por la libertad de sus conciudadanos y, aunque la felicidad se le resistia, tambien gozo de periodos de paz e incluso llego a encontrar el amor en la joven marquesa du Chatelet.Todas estas batallas libradas, junto a su personalidad chispeante y al exito de obras como Candido o sus cuentos, hizo de el uno de los escritores mas populares y queridos de todos los tiempos. Pero, por encima de todo, Voltaire fue, a fin de cuentas, el primer escritor plenamente libre, que desde su independencia intelectual y economica, cambio para siempre el mundo.

"La dialéctica erística es el arte de la controversia, dirigida de tal manera de tener siempre razón aunque se esté equivocado. Por consiguiente, el interés de la verdad, si bien en general debiera ser el unico motivo para afirmar la tesis probablemente justa, cede terreno al interes de la vanidad: lo verdadero debe parecer falso y lo falso verdadero."Arthur Schopenhauer
