Descrição: A study of the concept of man as developed in the section 'The Character of the Species' in E. Kant's ANTHROPOLOGIE IN PRAGMATISCHER HLSNSICHT (Anthropology from the Pragmatic Viewpoint). Kant's method has 2 purposes: to discover data about the essence of humanity, & to apply his classificatory thinking. Man is studied as a species among others & an attempt is made to locate his specific diff (proprietas). The classificatory method which Kant applied to animals & plants has to be adapted to the special difficulties of defining man. He comes to 2 main conclusions: (1) the animal world was given by Nature the automatism of its instincts; she gave rationality to man; & (2) man is not defined as a rational animal (animal rationale) but as an animal capable of reason (animal rationabile). This study is intended to be a contribution to a comparative investigation of Kant's philosophical anthrop & modern anthrop, a positive sci, of which Kant was one of the forerunners. I. Langnas.
