Przemysław Parszutowicz
The aim of the article is to introduce and demonstrate the specificity of Cassirer᾿s concept of symbolic pregnancy. This concept is considered by many scholars to be the most important, root concept of his entire philosophy of symbolic forms. It constitutes the originality of his phenomenology in comparison with that of Husserl, Brentano, Scheler or Heidegger.
