Summary
Helmuth Plessner's (1892-1985) theory of the eccentric positionality of man and his thesis of his basic inscrutability is a concept which can throw new light upon the bodily-natural and the spiritual-historical dimension. Ralf Meyer-Hansen reconstructs this concept as an anthropology of difference and shows that Plessner's anthropological criticism of religion not only presents a challenge to theology but that this concept also stimulates a new definition of faith and doubt, autonomy and theonomy, politics and religion.
