Description

English summary: Using several typical examples of other comparable authors who had previously not often been seen in relation to Ernst Cassirer, Enno Rudolph triggers a discussion on Ernst Cassirer's works. His study encompasses works by Wilhelm Dilthey, Charles S. Peirce, and Hans Blumenberg; he also examines Plato, Cusanus, Leibniz and Schleiermacher as representatives of an older tradition. Enno Rudolph focuses on precisely those areas of Cassirer's philosophy which Cassirer himself was not able to deal with in detail. German description: Enno Rudolph bringt das Werk Ernst Cassirers mit Autoren ins Gesprach, die bisher wenig zur Konfrontation mit diesem Philosophen herangezogen wurden. Unter anderem handelt es sich dabei um Wilhelm Dilthey, Charles S. Peirce und Hans Blumenberg aus der jungeren bzw. Platon, Cusanus, Leibniz und Schleiermacher aus der alteren Tradition. Es geht Enno Rudolph darum, gerade diejenigen Felder der Philosophie Cassirers in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses zu rucken, die von ihm selbst nicht mehr ausfuhrlich behandelt werden konnten. So setzt er sich mit Cassirers Ansatzen auf den Gebieten der Wissenschaftsphilosophie, der Religion, der Geschichtsphilosophie und der Politik auseinander. In diesen Interpretationen erweist sich Ernst Cassirer als konstruktiver Entdecker einer authentischen Philosophie des Renaissancehumanismus, als kantkritischer Leibniz-Rezipient und als Vertreter eines kulturrelativistischen Historismus.
