Descripción
Sumario:This article presents and analyzes elements of Ernst Cassirer's philosophy from which the problem of objectivity in Cultural Sciences can be formulated and, to a certain extent, answered. Such elements are found in the studies that make up the Logic of Cultural Sciences, from 1942, a work in the final phase of the author's intellectual production, namely: i) the pre-conceptual phenomenology that underlies the difference between the natural sciences and the sciences of culture; ii) the distinctions between the natural concept and the cultural concept, as well as the importance of the notions of form and style for the cultural sciences and iii) the centrality of the notion of form and how this reconfigures the notion of cause within the non-natural sciences.
