Research on the subject to date has largely interpreted the
paradigmatic shift in late-Enlightenment anthropology (approx.
1750-1800) as a unified process, and has discussed the various
fields of study in isolation. The present volume takes a different
course. It insists on the close connection between constructivist
and subject-related logic in anthropology, and interprets it in
terms of a process of increasing differentiation within the contest
between the rival views of man as a physical and moral animal. The
various articles discuss the following topics and/or interpretive
procedures: the relationship between soma and pneuma; the
self-generation of man in the process of natural history;
anthropology and the genesis of civilization; empiricism as an
anthropological form of epistemology; anthropology and utopia;
fictional anthropology as an epistemological approach; philosophy,
science, and myth.
