摘要
This paper presents the main ideas of Cassirer's general philosophy of science, focusing on the two aspects of his thought that-in addition to being the most central ideas in his philosophy of science-have received the most attention from contemporary philosophers of science: his theory of the a priori aspects of physical theory, and his relation to scientific realism.
