According to Cassirer, knowledge is not a passive mirroring of the world, but it is a mode of objectiving and questioning reality, which requires an active processing by the human subject. Nevertheless, Cassirer admits that this task is not the prerogative of scientific knowledge alone but is also realized by other cultural activities of men. Human cultural activities are many and manifold, nonetheless culture, like knowledge, constitutes a unity that presents the characteristics of a system, in which parts mutually condition each other. keywords Cassirer, System, Knowledge, Symbolic Form, Culture Author biography roberta.corvi@unicatt.it Enter a comment for Il «sistema della conoscenza».
