Self portrait highjacking “Seu corpo da obra (Your body of work)”, by Olafur Eliasson

What is philosophical anthropology?

“Although philosophical anthropology is constituted around the question of the human, which also means the being of the human, it is not the question alone that makes for the distinctiveness of philosophical anthropology, but rather the primacy that is given to that question. In this respect, philosophical anthropology appears, not just as one branch of philosophy among others, but as actually bringing with it a distinctive conception of philosophy as fundamentally concerned with the human in a way that comes before anything else.” (Benjamin & Malpas 2017, p.317)
