The Political Capacity of the Philosopher in the Work of Ernst Cassirer Bernstein, Jeffrey 2022 Philosophy Today , Vol. 66 , Issue 3 , S. 623 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0031-8256 | 2329-8596 10.5840/philtoday2022325453 Abstract
Ernst Cassirer’s The Myth of the State is often read as being insufficiently attentive to the possibility of fascism. In this paper, I examine, and partially contest, this reading. In his usage of the figures of Spinoza and prophetic Judaism, Cassirer develops a conception of the political capacity of the philosopher as pedagogically attempting to replace mythical thought with rational thought. In the end, Cassirer was aware of the onset and dangers of fascism.
