- Title
Morphologie und Humanismus oder: wie man zur Katze wird.
- Authors
Reinhardt, Thomas
- Abstract
Though the relationship between Goethe, Cassirer and Lévi-Strauss has been explored extensively, the focus usually lies on questions of genealogy. This article aims for a different course: Building on the notable similarities between Goethe's discussion of morphology, Lévi-Strauss' structuralistic approach and Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms we will investigate the epistemological similarities between the three authors. They can be found in a specific form of humanism (or anti-humanism) which connects questions on the conditions of the world and its accessibility with the more global question of humankind and its place within the natural world, thus, by virtue of a specific interpretation of the concept of transformation, opening the door for new approaches which have recently been discussed as ontological turn.
