The Anthropocene is heralded as a new epoch distinguishing itself
from all foregoing eons in the history of the Earth. It is
characterized by the overarching importance of the human species in
a number of respects, but also by the recognition of human
dependence and precariousness. A critical human turn affecting the
human condition is still in the process of arriving in the wake of
an initial Copernican Revolution and Kant's ensuing second
Copernican Counter-revolution. Within this landscape, issues
concerning the human - its finitude, responsiveness,
responsibility, maturity, auto-affection and relationship to itself
- appear rephrased and re-accentuated as decisive probing
questions. In this book Sverre Raffnsoe explores how the change has
ramifications for the kinds of knowledge that can be acquired
concerning human beings and for the human sciences as a study of
human existential beings in the world.
