Seinkonnen Synopsis

English summary: Animals live their lives; only human beings exist - between possibilities and actualities which do not converge. This is neglected in contemporary neuro- or evolutionary-biological approaches which focus on the objective structures of human life in its factual actuality. How can we avoid this one-sided abstraction from the modalities of the life-word in which we exist? What is the difference between biological ability and anthropological possibility? And how is the elementary self-referentiality of human life related to the scope between possibility and actuality in which human beings exist? The aim of this volume is to enlarge our view of human beings by focusing on human possibilities from philosophical and theological perspectives. How does our view of human life change if we pay attention to the creative possibilities that continuously and in unforeseeable ways terminate old actualities and open up new possibilities?


German description: >Tiere leben; allein der Mensch existiert - zwischen Moglichkeiten und Wirklichkeiten, die nicht zur Deckung kommen.< (B. Liebsch) Das droht vergessen zu werden, wenn man sich in neuro- oder evolutionsbiologischer Perspektive auf die Erforschung der faktischen Wirklichkeit menschlichen Lebens beschrankt. Um eine Erweiterung des Blicks auf den Menschen in seinem Seinkonnen geht es in diesem Band, und zwar sowohl in philosophischen als auch in theologischen Perspektiven: Wie verandert sich unsere Sicht des Menschen, wenn wir auf die kreativen Moglichkeiten im menschlichen Leben achten, die immer wieder auf nicht vorhersehbare Weise Altes beenden und Neues eroffnen? Vermag die Moglichkeit - wie Kierkegaard annimmt - nicht nur >aufzustoren<, sondern gar zu >retten
