AB  - "In this celebrated study Ernst Cassirer attempted one of the most difficult kinds of historical reconstruction. The distinction in all his historical writing lay in his treatment of philosophic systems in relation to the concrete moral and intellectual problems of their time, and in his meticulous tracing of the ways in which technical philosophies are generated, and a larger philosophic self-consciousness nourished, by the process of critical reflection on the problems created by cultural change."... Cassirer makes no attempt to summarize doctrines or to reconstruct philosophic systems. What he attempts, rather, is to show how the age was unified by a common set of cultural and social problems, and by the temper and direction of its thinking...." -- Publisher.
