Abstract
In the following paper, we would like to draw attention to the question of Man in Ernst Cassirer’s thought. We have tried to show how the so-called “anthropological turn” is actually an inherent disposition which arises with the transcendental method. This method is above all an answer to the fundamental question of being, and, in order to be in-depth conceived, has to be always considered as an answer to this question: if the question is erased, it will be lost the essence of the answer too. We have then tried to present the last results of our research, and particularly to explain in which sense the basis of both question and answer has to be recognized as an anthropological one, through the analysis of the difference man-animal.
