Negative Anthropology as a common Concept of Critical Theory and Philosophical Anthropology

该项目的目的是阐明消极人类学的概念作为一个潜在的共同概念的哲学的赫尔穆特普莱斯纳和西奥多W。阿多诺消极人类学这个术语可以追溯到乌尔里希·索内曼的《消极人类学》一书，索内曼在书中实际上是针对人类学的一个主要否定。在这个项目中，消极人类学作为一个系统的消极概念被引入，它可以用来突出普莱西纳和阿多诺之间基本的哲学相似性，而这并不适用于普莱西纳和格伦之间的关系（这也将在项目中显示）。如果成功地描述了这条推理路线，那么，由于一个被广泛认为是毫无疑问的中心对立消失了，20世纪的哲学史就必须重新塑造。普雷斯纳和阿多诺在对历史哲学和现代性的批判中采取了非常相似的立场，他们的批判都是以否定的人类学方式建立起来的，这一事实将进一步说明这一点。在最后一步，本项目旨在描述Plessners和Adornos的唯心主义的全面批判，这是要指出，在仔细检查他们的批判20世纪世纪存在主义，现象学，决定论和实证主义作为唯心主义思想的具体沉淀。

The aim of the project is to explicate the concept of a negative anthropology as an underlying common concept of the philosophies of Helmuth Plessner and Theodor W. Adorno. The term negative anthropology dates back to Ulrich Sonnemanns book Negative Anthropology, in which Sonnemann was in fact aiming at a principal negation of anthropology. In this project, negative anthropology is introduced as a systematically negative concept, which can be used to highlight elementary philosophical similarities between Plessner and Adorno while this does not apply to the relationship between Plessner and Gehlen (which is also to be shown in the project). Given a successful depiction of this line of reasoning, the history of philosophy in the twentieth century has to be refigured since a central opposition widely considered to be unquestionable vanishes. This will be further illustrated by the fact that Plessner and Adorno adopt very similar positions in their critique of philosophy of history and of modernity, with both their critiques being set up in a negative-anthropological manner. In its final step this project is aiming at a depiction of Plessners and Adornos comprehensive critique of idealism which is to be pointed out in a careful examination of their critique of 20th century existentialism, phenomenology, decisionism and positivism as specific sedimentations of idealistic thinking.
