In this didactic article several perspectives of the philosophical anthropology are presented, showing at the same time the difficulties in delimiting “the question of Man” as an autonomous discipline. Starting from the ambivalence contained in the expression “philosophical anthropology”, we present some data about the history of the word “anthropology”. Next, the typologies elaborated by Max Scheler and Ernst Cassirer illustrate large explanatory models of what “human-being” means, concluding at the same time by the failure of a historical path leading to uncertainty. Finally, the identification of philosophy with anthropology is referred in Kant and in Ludwig Feuerbach.

Resumo: Este artigo analisa a antropologia filosófica de Max Scheler enquanto fenomenologia da distinção humana cuja principal tarefa é a elaboração do conceito essencial do homem, ou seja, a definição do que o separa e o eleva acima da natureza. O artigo divide-se em duas partes: na primeira, apresenta o conceito de antropologia filosófica através da discussão do seu lugar sistemático nas investigações filosóficas; na segunda, desenvolve uma análise da questão da essência humana em correlação com o problema da determinação do seu lugar metafísico no interior da totalidade.  Abstract: This article presents an analysis of the philosophical anthropology of Max Scheler as a phenomenology of human distinction, whose main task is to elaborate the essential concept of the human being, meaning to define what separates humans from Nature and elevates them above Nature. The first part ignoof this article examines the concept of philosophical anthropology through the discussion of its systematic place in philosophical investigation. The second part develops an analysis of the question of human and of the correlated problem of determining the metaphysical place of this essence within the totality.

Insight Into

Fifty-eight years ago Max Scheler, one of the founders of modern philosophical anthropology, wrote: “Man is more of a problem to himself at the present time than ever before in all recorded history. ... the increasing multiplicity of the special sciences that deal with man, valuable as they are, tend to hide his nature more than they reveal it.”1 In 1944, some sixteen years later, Ernst Cassirer comments that even though “no former age was ever in such a favorable position with regard to the sources of our knowledge of human nature,” we are still looking for a clue which will provide “real insight into the general character of human culture.”2 In his famous 1958 book, Irrational Man,3 William Barrett looked to existentialism to recover the whole and integral, suffering and dying human being from the abstract image of humankind as logical operators dominant in modern philosophy. However, in a new book William Barrett concludes that the concrete human self was not in fact recovered in existentialism and laments its disappearance in modern thought. He talks of the Death of the Soul.4 I would add: and Elimination of the Body.

The Relationship

What is man? And what meaning does this question have for philosophy? For the first half of the 20th century, the Davos disputation between Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger is regarded as the paradigmatic dispute over man and the correct understanding of philosophy. Yet the protagonists of the dispute themselves conceived of their respective positions as being embedded in a threefold constellation with the kind of modern philosophical anthropology founded by Max Scheler and Helmuth Plessner. Including this third, natural-philosophical alternative opens up new ways of dealing with Heidegger's ontology of Dasein and Cassirer's cultural philosophy. At the same time, the author presents an original position instructive for a number of topics of the current question of the human – namely naturalism, the animal-human relationship, the concept of person and the relationship of human life form and objective mind.

An important problem of religious studies, the history of religion as a branch of knowledge is the periodization process of the development of religious phenomenon. It is precisely here, as in focus, that the question of the essence and meaning of the religious development of the human being of the world, the origin of beliefs and cult, the reasons for the changes in them, the place and role of religion in the social and spiritual process, etc., are converging.

Event and De-cision: Towards an Appropriation of Heidegger’s Last God

This chapter compares Heidegger, primarily utilizing his notion of the last God in Contributions to Philosophy and his analysis of the contingency of reason The Principle of Reason, with Schelling. A number of similarities are drawn while also being careful to explicate their essential differences. For instance, although Schelling offers a very elaborate philosophy and history of mythology, Heidegger proves more pagan insofar as the last God is to be ushered in by poets rather than by philosophers. Of particular interest is a certain ambivalence in Heidegger. Does the last God arrive because beckoned by the human being or does the last God arrive completely of its own accord?

John Locke's theory of personal identity underlies all modern discussion of the nature of persons and selves—yet it is widely thought to be wrong. This book argues that in fact it is Locke's critics who are wrong, and that the famous objections to his theory are invalid. Indeed, far from refuting Locke, they illustrate his fundamental point. The book argues that the root error is to take Locke's use of the word “person” as merely a term for a standard persisting thing, like “human being.” In actuality, Locke uses “person” primarily as a forensic or legal term geared specifically to questions about praise and blame, punishment and reward. This point is familiar to some philosophers, but its full consequences have not been worked out, partly because of a further error about what Locke means by the word “consciousness.” When Locke claims that your personal identity is a matter of the actions that you are conscious of, he means the actions that you experience as your own in some fundamental and immediate manner. Clearly and vigorously argued, this is an important contribution both to the history of philosophy and to the contemporary philosophy of personal identity.
