Eine anthropologische Krise? Anmerkungen zu einer kritischen Interpretation der anthropologischen Situation heute

Abstract

The intensity that characterizes the sense of crisis of our time, the initial hypothesis of this paper, has to do, in principle, with the fact that in modern societies will herald relevant anthropological changes, whose consequences are already clearly visible not only in the political and social structures, but also in the direction of “educational content” today or in the choice of individual forms of life. Therefore, this essay aims to draw attention to the central role that existentially and socially these changes include: not a historical context of our world, but we ourselves are in crisis. The anthropological crisis that we are experiencing today should not, though, be a reason to abandon the humanistic tradition. Against representatives of the “Post-Humanism”, defends the necessity of humanism, on condition of his intercultural transformation.
