Abstract
- The book "Fundamentals of Philosophical Anthropology: A Critical Problem Analysis" by Werner Woschnak addresses the question of human beings and their existence. The author argues that biology alone cannot provide the answer to this question. He emphasizes the importance of a critical enlightenment regarding different conceptions of human beings in pedagogy. The book also discusses the philosophical foundations and contradictions of modern anthropology, referring to the works of Max Scheler, Helmuth Plessner, and Adolf Portmann. Various positions in philosophical anthropology are discussed, highlighting the significance of the comparison between humans and animals and the issue of biologism in anthropology. The author concludes with a discussion on humanity, human dignity, freedom, and criticism of a "philosophy based on language." He emphasizes the necessity of considering philosophical questions in special and remedial education and presents a research programmatic outline. The book provides a differentiated introduction to philosophical anthropology and enables readers to independently reflect on current anthropological questions. [Extracted from the article]
