Philosophical anthropology

Vitruvian Man or the perfect man by Leonardo da Vinci

Philosophical anthropology, sometimes called anthropological philosophy,[1][2] is a discipline within philosophy that inquires into the essence of human nature.[3] It deals with questions of metaphysics and phenomenology of the human person.[4]

Philosophical anthropology is distinct from Philosophy of Anthropology, the study of the philosophical conceptions underlying anthropological work.[5]
