Answer
Cassirer's mentor Hermann Cohen was a neo-Kantian philosopher, and Cassirer's philosophy of science owes a great deal to Cohen's work. Cohen's philosophy of science was based on the idea that science is a rational activity, and that the goal of science is to understand the world in terms of universal laws. Cassirer agreed with Cohen's view of science, and he developed his own philosophy of science based on Cohen's ideas.
