Die Erfindung des Menschen: Person und Personlichkeit in ihren lebensweltlichen Kontexten

Current examinations and discussions on anthropological hermeneutics, in what entails not only theological approaches, operate with terms that usually suffer from inaccuracy, especially with a view to their semantics. Despite their original task, to highlight certain taxonomies or hierarchies of terminology, terms like the self, identity, person, personality or personification must be defined. This volume collects essays, originally presented at an interdisciplinary symposium at Greifswald, that prefer a dynamical and context-based interpretation of anthropological terminology-from: exegesis, ethics, history, law, psychology, philosophy, social anthropology and theology.
