Naturalism and philosophical anthropology : nature, life, and the human between transcendental and empirical perspectives

Phillip Honenberger

Abstract

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.
