Philosophical Anthropology

Philosophical anthropology explores what it means to be human, intersecting ethics and history. It examines how our understanding of human nature influences moral values (descriptive ethics), our assessment of ethical progress over time, and our beliefs about the purposes (teleology) behind historical events. It reflects on how these aspects shape our understanding of humanity’s trajectory, addressing questions about moral development and the meaning we assign to historical progress. Ultimately, it seeks to understand the essence of human existence and morality within the broader context of our shared history and ethical frameworks.
