Helmuth Plessner (18921985) re-invented the field of philosophical anthropology, grounding it in natural philosophy and philosophical history. This volume provides the first comprehensive commentary and systematic reconstruction of his principal work in natural philosophy. It will be an essential tool for philosophers and life scientists of all disciplines to engage with this classical work of the 20th century.
