Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Thema des in englischer Sprache verfassten The Myth of the State – dem letzten Werk, das Cassirer vor seinem Tod im Manuskript zum Abschluss bringen konnte – ist die Wiederkehr des politischen Totalitarismus, dem er selbst nur durch Emigration entkam. Der Text belegt, dass die in der Philosophie der symbolischen Formen entwickelte »Kritik der Kultur« auch den Rahmen für eine Theorie des Politischen absteckt und dazu nötigt, auf anthropologischer Ebene die Einheit von »animal symbolicum« und »zoon politikon« zu denken. Cassirer beginnt mit einer Analyse der destruktiven Macht des mythischen Denkens. Er untersucht seine Struktur, seine Beziehung zur Sprache, seinen affektiven Charakter und seine soziale Funktion. Im Anschluss beschreibt Cassirer in einem ideengeschichtlichen Aufriß die Hauptlinien der politischen Theorien von Platon bis zum frühen 19. Jahrhundert, um dann im letzten Teil die Wiedergeburt des Mythos im 20. Jahrhundert zu behandeln. Cassirer schließt, dass der politische Mythos nicht endgültig überwunden, sondern nur »gezähmt« werden kann. Dazu kann die Philosophie beitragen, jedoch nicht, indem sie ihn argumentativ zu widerlegen versucht, sondern indem sie ihn verstehen und so bekämpfen hilft. Eine deutsche Übersetzung – Vom Mythus des Staates – ist in der Philosophischen Bibliothek (Band 541) lieferbar.

Download or read book The Problem of Sovereignty in the Later Middle Ages written by Michael Wilks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereignty has always been an important concept in political thought, and at no time in European history was it more important than during the perplexed conditions of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Universal government was a fading dream, giving way to the new conception of the national state and the whole basis of political thought was being reorientated by the influx of Aristotelian ideas. Dr Wilks's book is an attempt to clarify the more important problems in the political outlook of the period. He shows that at this time the theologians and literary writers, especially Augustinus Triumphus of Ancona, had built up a complete theory of sovereignty in favour of the papal monarchy, based on a neo-Platonic, Augustinian view of the church as a universal and totalitarian state.
