Summary/Abstract: Considering human definitions as mere speculations without content, Ernst Cassirer considers superfluous the assertion so old that man would be a political zoon, a sociable and rational animal. Beyond his physical or metaphysical dimension, man is a "symbolic animal", through his work, identifiable in the ethics and aesthetics of his Freedom, through cultural creation and production (languages, myths, religions, arts and sciences, etc.), considers Cassirer. As Freedom is itself a difficult concept to define, closer to the continuous action dimension of Freedom is Liberation, as a continuous evolution towards human progress, within human societies / civilizations / cultures.
