Abstract

The article discusses recent studies on the relationship between Critical Theory and Philosophical Anthropology, especially in German thought. Starting from different forms of the relationship – alternative paradigms, convergences in critical anthropology, political oppositions and commonalities of critique of the time and culture, divergences of perspective and the construction of a critical anthropology – the text explores and attempts to reconstruct the elements for a reactivation of their critical potential on the contemporary world. The researches of scholars such as J. Fischer, H.-P. Krüger, K.-S. Rehberg, O. Agard, G. Raulet around authors such as Plessner, Gehlen, Horkheimer, Adorno, Benjamin, and notions such as exoneration, alienation, reification, negative dialectics and eccentric positionality, are thus examined
