Philosophical Anthropology in Rudi Superk's Psychological Perspective

Željko Senković ; Filozofski fakultet, Osijek, Hrvatska

Abstract

The interdisciplinary research in the nature and the meaningfulness of the human being in Rudi Supek’s work is characterized by the attempt at synthetizing the result of the scienses and the humanities, starting from some philosophical ontologicalanthropologica
prerequisites. Man is essentialy a controversial being of tension resulting from the struggle between the objectivity and the painful subjectivity of the world. The constant individuation and socialization are two seemingly controversial processes, regarding which Rudi Supek construed the theses about man both as an alloplastic and autoplastic system: We are formed by both the outside and the inside, we are beings of equally reason and instinct, an open system that must change its environment in order to keep its capability to live. The age of Modernity and its possibilities are a specific chance enabling us to comprehend the interaction between nature and culture concerning the liberation and inhibition of the human nature.
