Ernst Cassirer

Ernst Cassirer (July 28, 1874 – April 13, 1945) was a German philosopher. He became a doctor of philosophy at University of Marburg in 1899 where he studied with Hermann Cohen and Paul Natorp, thus being widely — and correctly — considered a neo-Kantian although he later developed his own philosophy of culture. Today, the late Cassirer is also considered one of the key thinkers of Semiotics.
