Abstract
Although philosophical anthropology is constituted around the question of the
human, which also means the being of the human, it is not the question alone that
makes for the distinctiveness of philosophical anthropology, but rather the primacy
that is given to that question. In this respect, philosophical anthropology appears,
not just as one branch of philosophy among others, but as actually bringing with it
a distinctive conception of philosophy as fundamentally concerned with the human
in a way that comes before anything else. Moreover, precisely because philosophical
anthropology insists on the primacy of the question of the human, so it also
resists the tendency to treat the human in any reductive or eliminative fashion. The
question of the human thus remains a distinct question, and the manner in which
it is answered remains equally distinct.
