THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF TRANSCENDENT PHILOSOPHY
26-27 March 2011, Sultan Hotel, Jl. Gatot Subroto Jakarta 10002, Indonesia
Philosophical anthropology is the attempt that seeks to unify the several investigations and explorations of humans in an effort to understand human behavior as both creatures of their environment and creators of their own values. Although the majority of philosophers throughout the history of philosophy can be said to have a distinctive "anthropology’’ that undergirds their thought, philosophical anthropology itself, as a specific discipline in philosophy, arose within the later modern period as an outgrowth from developing methods in philosophy, such as phenomenology and existentialism. The former, which draws its energy from methodical reflection of human experience from the philosopher's own personal experience, naturally aided the emergence of philosophical explorations of human nature and the human condition.
But if philosophy has aspirations to universality, if the aim is “philosophy as an educator of humanity”, it is essential to wonder why so little importance is attached to philosophy in the very basic of world paradigm, citizen’s education or even governance policy making. So it must be able to break down into the level of where it can embarrass all aspects of human life.
