Features: Great minds are always connected. Precisely for this reason, the distance between a great philosopher and a great poet is smaller than the distance between him and a poor philosopher. Cassirer's little book vividly and convincingly illustrates this point by tracing the phenomenon of spiritual transformation from poetry (Rousseau) to philosophy (Kant) and from philosophy (Kant) to poetry (Goethe).
