The essay 'The concept of Reality' is a part of the first systematic work of Ernst Cassirer, the alumnus of the Marburg school, titled 'Substanzbegriff und Funktionsbegriff. Untersuchungen über Grundfragen der Erkenntniskritik' (1910). It developed certain position concerning the problem of reality, which is representative for this school. This conception, and especially the shift of cognitive perspective, from substantial to functional, contained in it, is crucial as far as the whole later Cassirer's work is concerned and it comes as the foundation for the subsequent theory of symbolic forms.

The paper deals with some major themes in early Cassirer's philosophy of mathematics. It appears, that the basis of his thinking about mathematical objects and mathematical concept formation is his Neo-Kantian idealistic (transcendental) theory of concepts which he developed in opposition to what is called the 'traditional theory of concepts' going back to Aristotle. Cassirer often seeks to confirm his philosophical insights concerning mathematics by the interpretations the works of significant mathematicians. Therefore, the second part of the paper deals with Cassirer's attempt to find such a confirmation in famous Dedekind's theory of natural numbers. Cassirer's philosophical attitude to Dedekind's theory is compared with that of Russell. The author raises the sceptical question of whether Cassirer's view of mathematics - as developed in his early period - could be a sufficient or at least plausible basis for solving philosophical problems of the foundations of mathematics of that time.

Ernst Cassirer's place in the 20th century philosophy is quite puzzling. Is it an appropriation of Kant's transcendental philosophy for inclusion of relativity theory and quantum physics? Is it a Hegelian type of philosophy of culture and spirit? Or, at the face value, is it a direct heritage and application of the Marburg School of neo-Kantianism initiated by Hermann Cohen? It is very surprising to hear Cassirer's confession that he is also influenced by Edmund Husserl's 'phenomenology': whereas the basic idea of phenomenology is to do away with all theoretical constructions and start anew from the 'immediately pre-given' phenomenon, all the 'constructivist' heritage in Cassirer's philosophy resists such an idea of philosophizing the 'immediately pre-given'. Then, how should we understand the 'phenomenology' Cassirer himself professes? Re-examining the idea of phenomenology for Husserl, we discover that both Husserl and Cassirer are carrying out the same kind of 'phenomenology', phenomenology as transcendental philosophy 'par excellence'.

This article analyses the directions taken by the development of interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary knowledge on image. In the American version, the issues of image are 'merged' in a broader context of visual culture, with the related studies focusing on a critical analysis of our contemporary, new-media manifestations of pictoriality/imagery. The German current highlights, in turn, a historical continuity of iconic issues and their anthropological basis, which may be seen as related to Ernst Cassirer's tradition of philosophy of culture and cultural studies carried out in the Warburg Library circle. Given this general context, the issues dwelled upon as part of Visual Studies gain a deeper historical basis whilst also becoming a constituent of trans-disciplinary research.
