The subtitle of this volume is: NATURAL PHILOSOPHY AND ANTHROPOLOGY. The first half discusses the basic distinction between matter, plants and animals - in confrontation with diverse trends in natural philosophy - whereas the second half of this volume presents the position of being human in the temporal world within the context of the task of a philosophic anthropology. Particular attention is dedicated to the normative act-structure of the human being (amongst others Scheler's views are analyzed), while the Genesis-account (the `days' of creation and time-measurement) and the modern neo-Darwinian theory of evolution are also investigated
