Philosophy of mathematics and natural science, including Cassirer's first systematic work, Substance and Function, and subsequent works, like Einstein's Theory of Relativity
The problem of culture and the ground-breaking The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms
Cassirer's ethical and political thought and his diagnosis of fascism in The Myth of the State
