This is the first comprehensive volume in English on Cassirer's philosophy for over seventy years. Eleven leading Cassirer scholars address all of the key aspects of Cassirer's multi-faceted thought and situate them in the wider context of his philosophy of culture. Their essays demonstrate the depth and richness of a philosophical enterprise that still awaits recognition as one of the most original contributions to twentieth-century philosophy. Interpreting Cassirer will prove invaluable not only for Cassirer scholars and researchers of early twentieth-century philosophy, but also for scholars of the philosophy of culture, language, science, art, history, and mind.

This rich collection of essays addresses all the key aspects of Cassirer's multi-faceted philosophical thought.

Reviews
'This volume is strong both in its explication of the basic themes contained in Cassirer's texts as well as in providing diverse and unique interpretations of these texts. ... in a similar way, this volume should appeal to both Analytic and Continental readers of Kant and the Neo-Kantians. It exemplifies the very breadth that Cassirer practiced in his substantial and exciting intellectual career.' Jeffrey A. Bernstein, Metascience
