In this article I examine the interpretation of Nicholas of Cusa’s thoughts proposed by Ernst Cassirer. In his historical and philosophical research on the philosophy of this medieval thinker, the disciple of Hermann Cohen and Paul Natorp combines, in a creative manner, cultural symbolism with epistemological foundations of neo-Kantianism of the Marburg school. His image of Cusanus is that of a person infatuated with science, especially mathematical geometry, a theologian, part of the canon of the medieval epoch and also the precursor of the ideas of the Renaissance.
