Categories: Biographical notes
Ernst Cassirer (1874 – 1945) was a German born philosopher, who developed an idealist philosophy of science (and culture more widely). His work was strongly influenced by Kant. As Cassirer was Jewish, he left Germany when the Nazis came to power (had he stayed, he would have been removed from his academic post, and likely later been sent to the death camps) and later worked in Oxford, Sweden and the U.S.
