THE SEARCH OF FOUNDATIONS OF PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES.

The main aim of the paper is to describe and understand the foundations of philosophical anthropology. The paper suggests the investigation of the positions of whose philosophers who suppose that philosophical anthropology can't exist as a system of positive productive knowledge. Authors analyzed the reasons for this approach and discovered that these reasons are related to the understanding of a man as a unique and specific singularity. Philosophers, who deny the existence of philosophical anthropology as a science, believe that this individuality and uniqueness of a person can't be represented by means of abstract conceptual structures with shared meanings. The paper concludes that the foundation of such interpretation of human being is the recognition of the limited human body. That position is not the only possible. The alternative basis of anthropological theories is the approval of the uniform nature of human reality. This foundation of anthropological conceptions is the most promising and effective basis for the development and the perfection of philosophical anthropology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
