Anthropology adversus philosophy of history
Odo Marquard ante la modernidad
Keywords:
Odo Marquard, philosophy of history, anthropologyAbstract
This article approaches Odo Marquard’s conception of modernity from the point of view of the relation of opposition between philosophy of history and philosophical anthropology, and shows the author’s change in position over the decade from 1960 to 1970. If in the 1960s Marquard understood the antithesis between philosophy of history and anthropology as a case of Enlightenment dialectics that was nevertheless adduced in defence of the modernity of the idealist philosophy of history, then considered the bastion of man’s autonomy, starting in the 1970s that antithesis became the expression of two irreconcilable alternatives: the anti-modern one of the monotheistic and scatological myth of revolutionary emancipation and the pro-modern one of sceptical-realist recognition of the mundane finitude of homo compensator.
