In research of philosophy of culture and cultural studies, Ernst Cassirer has very important status. Cassirer who was generally evaluated as the first philosopher in sphere of philosophy of culture was established philosophy of culture as a discipline. In that context, what is the status of his philosophy of culture? Only succeeding in German idealism or not ?
In this paper, firstly we will expose the status of Cassirer's philosophy of culture. In order to solve this problem, we will explain that what is the philosophy of culture as a critical idealism in Cassirer in terms of German idealism. Also we will deal with the relation between Marburg neo-Kantian focused on epistemology and philosophy of science and Cassirer's philosophy of culture. Then we will explain the relation between Cassirer's philosophy of culture and Kant's critical philosophy, and also philosophy of culture and practice.
