Obsah
The field of Anthropology in philosophy addresses the question: what does it mean to be human? This question became central in the Renaissance when philosophers asked: why is being a human problematic to human beings? We will take Ernst Cassirer's Essay on Man as our lead text, which subdivides the question into humans' relation to themselves, to nature, to the realm of knowledge and culture, including religion, language, art, and history. We will study the issues in main sources of Renaissance thought, among others in Leon Battista Alberti, Girolamo Cardano, Nicholas of Cusa, Marsilio Ficino, Martin Luther, Giovanni Pico, Juan Luis Vives. The exact selection of sources depends in part on the input and interests of students.
