Theoretical Anthropology or How to Observe a Human Being, 1st Edition, presents an epistemological framework for analyzing the human being. The book contends that while the human being seems present in anthropology, the discipline has never truly incorporated the individual entity into its core focus.
To address this gap, the work establishes theoretical and methodological foundations to consider the human being directly as an entity, rather than as a vehicle for understanding social and cultural phenomena. Engaging in debate with anthropologists and philosophers, the text conceptualizes the human being as a volume.
The volume enriches this conceptual approach by presenting several drawings designed to illustrate and clarify its theoretical framework.
