Outline of a Philosophical Anthropology Buchkatalog

Anthropology' refers to the science of Man or to a program to organize human existence. 'Philosophical' can refer to the philosophical aspects of elucidating and clarifying empirical problems or to philosophical efforts of conceptual clarification and the uncovering of consequences for action. The "Outline of a philosophical anthropology" is a conceptual draft. It focuses on the concepts of freedom and free will as well as the regulators of freedom, i.e. reciprocity and self-organization. Self-organization is defined in terms of procedures and capabilities. Self-organization is deepened as the stimulation of fantasy, the composition of structure and development of problems. Reciprocity is explained and exemplified in terms of moral conscience as a comparator of action and norm. For this, a neurobiological model is proposed. A chapter on conceptual thought in sexual praxis concentrates on composition and reciprocity in this domain of existence. The formation of concepts, sequences and patterns for composing heterosexual union is covered. Chapters on action and behavior, social association and social space, neural mechanisms and neuronal correlates of meaning formation, consciousness, memory and knowledge form the anthropological background knowledge. The outline presented can help to organize existence and identity individually and subjectively.
