Ernst Cassirer,Ralph Manheim,Charles William Hendel Jr.
The ,Symbolic Forms, has long been considered the greatest of Cassirerâ€™s works.Â  Into it he poured all the resources of his vast learning about language and myth, religion, art, and scienceâ€”the various creative symbolizing activities and constructions through which man has expressed himself and given intelligible objective form to this experience.Â Â ,â€œThese three volumes alone (apart from Cassirerâ€™s other papers and books) make an outstanding contribution to epistemology and to the human power of abstraction.Â  It is rather as if â€˜The Golden Boughâ€™ had been written in philosophical rather than in historical terms.â€â€”F.I.G.
