Abstract

From the publication of “Zur Auseinandersetzung mit der europäischen Wissenschaft” in 1924, Leo Strauss inaugurated a critical line, which lasted until 1956, aimed at questioning fundamental aspects of the thought of Ernst Cassirer. In the course of this critical line -in his review of the book The Myth of the State published originally in Social Research in 1947-, Leo Strauss raises against Ernst Cassirer the charge of Ästhetizismus -’aestheticism’-. In this paper I propose a reevaluation of the charge of aestheticism directed by Leo Strauss to the whole of the philosophical work of Ernst Cassirer.
