RIOS FLORES, Pablo Facundo. The Problem of Freedom as Selbstbildung in the Debate between Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger. Eidos [online]. 2020, n.32, pp.201-230.  Epub July 01, 2020. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.32.193.12.

This paper aims to analyze the philosophical debate between Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger in the interwar period, starting from their dissimilar way of understanding human freedom as a process of selfconfiguration (Selbstbildung) of the subject or Dasein. First, we will examine the global reinterpretation of Kantian philosophy by both thinkers in the light of their philosophical projects: in the case of Cassirer, the philosophy of symbolic forms, in the case of Heidegger, the hermeneutics of facticity. Second, their interpretations of the aesthetic thought of Friedrich Schiller will be analyzed, within the framework of their reflections on the function of art for the understanding of the Selbstbildung. This will illuminate a new aspect of this debate and determine the distance between their two philosophical and political orientations.

Keywords : art; imagination; Selbstbildung; freedom..
