Antropologia e meta-antropologia in Schelling

1The article hints that an anthropology, in the sense of a complete theory of man, is not given within the Schellingian system. Indeed, the question of man is posed by Schelling through his theory of principles, to which he is able to combine an empirical description of temperaments. Following his theory of principles we can see how Schelling inscribes the anthropological question in a scheme that is both cosmological and theological. Therefore the human being is always defined starting from his impersonal part (be it instinctual or metaphysical). Tracing this problem within the Schellinghian system, this paper intends to offer an introduction for Schelling’s posthumous Anthropologisches Schema, one of his minor works that can nevertheless be fundamental to understand his role in the nineteenth-century anthropological debate and the depth of his Naturphilosophie.nonemixedPier Francesco CorvinoCorvino, PIER FRANCESC
