| Summary: | This paper describes an empirical approach to a Christian philosophical anthropology, moving by a number of steps from the circumference to the centre. I shall apply the metaphor of mutually enclosing horizons. The course of the argument is that people are part of nature, called from the animal kingdom, opening up natural characters and developing interhuman relations and normative characters in their history. Each person has an individual character and stands in the presence of the Lord. The latter is not the end, but the principle of Christian philosophy. |
