The"linguistic turn"is a remarkable trend in the development of philosophy in the 20th century,and Cassirer is one of the forerunners of the"linguistic turn"in German philosophy,who has inherited the ideas of Herder and Humboldt,and en-lightened Gadamer and Habermas.Compared with such analytic philosophers as Frege and Carnap,who have emphasized the logical function of language,Cassirer believes that meaning making and interactive functions can better reflect the nature of lan-guage.The study of language has continued throughout the second half of Cassirer's academic career,but the reason why he has turned to the study of language has remained unclear.Cassirer's"linguistic turn"is an expansion of his research field based on the"transcendental method"that he has always upheld,a supplement to Kant's philosophical system,a model for the combina-tion of linguistic and philosophical studies,and an attempt to transcend the differences between analytic philosophy and conti-nental philosophy.
