Naturalism and Philosophical Anthropology: Nature, Life, the Human between Transcendental Empirical Perspectives in Bloomington, MN

This volume explores the philosophical anthropologies of Scheler, Gehlen, Plessner, and Blumenberg in terms of their relevance to contemporary theories of nature, naturalism, organic life, and human affairs.
