Frazer 3: 318) Philosopher Ernst Cassirer confirms the central importance of this concept in myth: The notion that name and essence bear a necessary and internal relation to each other, that the name does not merely denote but actually is the essence of its object, that the potency of the real thing is contained in its name--that is one of the fundamental assumptions of the mythmaking consciousness itself. In the second part, he introduces critical theoreticians who recognized the centrality of myth but did not share Sorel's political conclusions, among them Bloch, Cassirer, Sartre, Arendt, and McLuhan. In Valcke's view, later interpretations, like those of Ernst Cassirer and Eugenio Garin, have followed Burckhardt's footsteps in presenting Giovanni Pico as the prototype for the Quattrocento humanist, and his Oration on the Dignity of Man--with its Promethean vision of man as master of his own destiny--as the manifesto of Renaissance humanism. |
