Naturalism and Philosophical Anthropology (eBook, PDF)

Nature, Life, and the Human between Transcendental and Empirical Perspectives

Redaktion: Honenberger, Phillip

Beschreibung

What is a human being? Philosophical anthropology has approached this question with unusual sophistication, experimentalism, and subtlety. This volume explores the philosophical anthropologies of Scheler, Gehlen, Plessner, and Blumenberg in terms of their relevance to contemporary theories of nature, naturalism, organic life, and human affairs.

Rezensionen

"The essays in this volume provide an exciting contribution to the search for an alternative to reductionist forms of naturalism that ignore the intentional-normative stratum, assisting philosophers and natural scientists to make use of and orient themselves to the dynamic tradition of philosophical anthropology." (Andrew Cooper, Phenomenological Reviews, reviews.ophen.org, April, 2016)
