Description

What does it mean to be a human being? What is my place in the world? These are the core questions of the tradition of philosophical anthropology-the philosophical exploration of the human being. Once a thriving tradition in European philosophy-between the wars philosophical anthropology was a dominant school of philosophical thought-today it is a neglected tradition. And yet, the human being remains central to philosophical thought and to contemporary debates over human enhancement and the posthuman. In Renewing Anthropological Thought Dr. Dennis Weiss provides an overview of philosophical anthropology and makes the case for its continued relevance. Following an introduction to the German tradition and tasks of philosophical anthropology, Weiss offers a detailed analysis of Max Scheler's and Ernst Cassirer's philosophical anthropologies. He then examines two contemporary approaches to human nature, Daniel Dennett's and Michel Foucault's, and develops a holistic account of the human being as a cultural and symbolic animal that incorporates elements from these diverse philosophical traditions.Dennis Weiss is Professor of Philosophy at York College of Pennsylvania. He is the editor of Interpreting Man and has authored many articles on philosophical anthropology, philosophy of technology, and the posthuman.
