Erinnerung an Das Humane Synopsis

English summary: The Human's self-description of an animal rationale can no longer be taken for granted. A crisis in the concept of rationality, insights into the contingency of human life challenged by theories of evolution and a gradual diminishing of normative ideas of humanity transform the question What is a human being? into two other questions: What has it been? and What will it have been? Hans Blumenberg's phenomenological anthropology performs this work of remembrance by hinting at possibilities, which have not yet been realized. It is mainly Blumenberg's post-humously published works on phenomenology and anthropology, which show that his studies of metaphors and analogies, his phenomenology of history or his theory of modernity cherish the remembrance of the human in an entirely new way. This volume contains a selection of philosophical and theological articles, some of them in English.


German description: Das Selbstverstandnis des Menschen als animal rationale ist nicht mehr selbstverstandlich. Krisen des Rationalitatsbegriffs, evolutionstheoretische Einsichten in die Kontingenz menschlichen Lebens und ein allmahliches Verblassen normativer Menschenbilder uberfuhren die Frage: Was ist der Mensch? in die beiden anderen: Was war der Mensch? und Was wird er gewesen sein?Hans Blumenbergs phanomenologische Anthropologie leistet solche Erinnerungsarbeit im Horizont noch unabgegoltener Moglichkeiten. Sie setzt sich dem Anspruch aus, die Ubiquitat des Menschlichen prasent zu halten und Menschliches nicht verloren zu geben. Vor allem der Nachlass Blumenbergs zeigt, dass seine Studien zu philosophischen Metaphern und Gleichnissen, zur Phanomenologie der Geschichte sowie zur Neuzeittheorie Potentiale freilegen, die der Erinnerung ans Humane innovative Kraft verleihen.Der Sammelband enthalt ausgewahlte philosophische und theologische Beitrage.
