Keywords: Foucault, Michel ; Orientbild ; Philosophische Anthropologie ; Tunesien ; Japan

Abstract: Foucault lived in Tunisia for two years and travelled to Japan and Iran more than once. Yet throughout his critical scholarship, he insisted that the cultures of the "Orient" constitute the "limit" of Western rationality. Using archival research supplemented by interviews with key scholars in Tunisia, Japan and France, this book examines the philosophical sources, evolution as well as contradictions of Foucault's experience with non-Western cultures. Beyond tracing Foucault's journey into the world of otherness, the book reveals the personal, political as well as methodological effects of a radical conception of cultural difference that extolled the local over the cosmopolitan.

Abstract: The definition of mankind has been the subject of animated discussion for millenia. Religious as well as secular accounts are available, albeit without being able to provide a convincing answer so far. This volume contains four different perspectives on the question of what characterizes mankind. The accessible contributions by Dagmar Fenner, Annemarie Pieper, Wilhelm Schmid, and Dieter Thomä resist the temptation of pursuing final answers, but foster self-reflexion instead.

Keywords: Philosophische Anthropologie ; Aufsatzsammlung

Abstract: The question of the nature of man has occupied human beings everywhere and in every period including the present. The scientists, politicians, theologians, journalists, and writers assembled here give their personal responses to the question in fifty incisive contributions representing different cultural traditions. What is to be expected? Clearly not a conclusive answer to the question but rather a dazzling spectrum of contemporary positions regarding human self-understanding both critical and constructive, pointed and profound.
