@ “HUMAN LIFE... IT IS AN INTRICATE FABRIC OF REASON AND RITE, OF KNOWLEDGE AND RELIGION, PROSE AND POETRY, FACT AND DREAM…“ SUSANNE KATHERINA LANGER LANGER BELIEVED THAT SYMBOLISM IS THE CENTRAL CONCERN OF PHILOSOPHY BECAUSE IT UNDERLIES ALL HUMAN KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING. AS WITH ERNST CASSIRER, LANGER BELIEVED THAT WHAT DISTINGUISHES HUMANS FROM ANIMALS IS THE CAPACITY FOR USING SYMBOLS. SUSANNE KATHERINA LANGER WAS AN AMERICAN PHILOSOPHER, WRITER, AND EDUCATOR AND WAS WELL KNOWN FOR HER THEORIES ON THE INFLUENCES OF ART ON THE MIND. SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST WOMEN IN AMERICAN HISTORY TO ACHIEVE AN ACADEMIC CAREER IN PHILOSOPHY AND THE FIRST WOMAN TO BE POPULARLY AND PROFESSIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS AN AMERICAN PHILOSOPHER. #susannelanger #philosophy #historyandphilosophy #innabesedina #selfdevelopment #selfeducation #langer #education #westernphilosophy #contemporaryphilosophy #processphilosophy #philosophyofmind #aesthetics #susannekatherinalanger #americanphilosophy #studying
