The volume is a collection of historical and systematic essays on the concept of a negative anthropology. The systemic roots of this idea extend back to the nineteenth century (Hegel, Feuerbach, Nietzsche). The essays examine the previously uncodified terminological basis of negative anthropology in analyses of various twentieth-century approaches (e.g. Plessner, Anders, Arendt).
