Existence and Transcendence : An Anti-Faustian Study in Philosophical Anthropology

Dismissing rather than refuting explanation that attribute all human phenomena exclusively to material processes, Segesvary explicates the biological and cultural elements of human existence in order to explore the nature of the beasts and their place in the universe. He describes and analyzes human transcendence, which reflects Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, Popper's critical rationalism, and Rorty's skeptical stance. The text is double spaced.
