The article proposes a discussion of 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 the critical potential on the contemporary world. The researches of scholars such as J. Fischer, H.-P. Krüger, K.-S. Rehberg, O. Agard, G. Raulet and G. Richter around authors such as Plessner, Gehlen, Horkeimer, Adorno, Benjamin and notions such as exemption, estrangement, reification, negative dialectics and eccentric positionality, are thus examined.

L'articolo discute gli studi recenti sul rapporto tra Teoria critica e Antropologia e filosofica, soprattutto nel pensiero tedesco. Partendo da diverse forme di relazione - paradigmi alternativi, convergenze in antropologia critica, opposizioni politiche e comunanze di critica dell'epoca e della cultura, divergenze di prospettiva e costruzione di un'antropologia critica - il testo esplora e cerca di ricostruire gli elementi per una riattivazione del loro potenziale critico sul mondo contemporaneo. Sono così esaminate le ricerche di studiosi come J. Fischer, H.-P. Krüger, K.-S. Rehberg, O. Agard, G. Raulet e G. Richter intorno ad autori come Plessner, Gehlen, Horkheimer, Adorno, Benjamin, e nozioni come l'esonero, l'alienazione, la reificazione, la dialettica negativa e la posizionalità eccentrica.

Abstract

The article proposes a discussion of 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 the critical potential on the contemporary world. The researches of scholars such as J. Fischer, H.-P. Krüger, K.-S. Rehberg, O. Agard, G. Raulet and G. Richter around authors such as Plessner, Gehlen, Horkeimer, Adorno, Benjamin and notions such as exemption, estrangement, reification, negative dialectics and eccentric positionality, are thus examined.
