| Summary: | <p>Questions centered around the „Anthropos in the Anthropocene“ are particularly virulent in Anthropogeography. While the discussion about
More-Than-, Post- or Other-Than-Human is present and vivid especially in
anglophone theoretical discourse as well as in New Materialism, the
German-speaking representative of a Philosophical Anthropology Helmuth
Plessner has hardly received any attention. His concept of Eccentric
Positionality, among others, seems to be particularly appropriate and
striking in this context. Plessner has made remarkable attempts in
approximating the essence of the human being and his fellow world, without
lapsing into existentialism or making under-complex differentiations. His
dialectical, oscillating definition of „Menschlichkeit“ between „Un-“ and „Allzumenschlichkeit“ has great potential for differentiation and insight. This article is intended to re-examine Plessner's Philosophical Anthropology against this background and to encourage new „dives“ in the sense of a German Theory into his, in our view, highly interesting field of Philosophical Anthropology.</p> |
