Abstract
A general, nontechnical introduction to philosophical anthropology suitable for undergraduates. Takes-up the ever popular question of the meaning of life, drawing on biological, anthropological, and philosophic resources. We won't spoil it by revealing the answer, but some of the topics are the correct approach to the question, the dimensions and unity of existence, the mental and physical aspects, freedom of will, and death. Translated from the 1982 German edition. Cloth edition ($24.95) not seen by UPBN. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
