An interesting anthropological essay with which Beuchot invites the reader to investigate and meditate on the human being.

This book deals with philosophical anthropology, a discipline that investigates and meditates on the human being. This is seen under the prism of intentionality, as a nucleus of diverse intentions: cognitive, volitional, emotional and even ontological, that is, as an impulse to exist.

Mauricio Beuchot proposes an analysis from analog hermeneutics, since the human being is an analogue or icon of the universe, that is, a microcosm. He has fraternity with the entire cosmos and that is why he is called to take care of him. It has, then, a natural side, but also a cultural side, and we must attend to these two poles that constitute it. A unique philosophical anthropology privileges the natural face, and an equivocal, the cultural. In this work, the analog posture is placed at the junction where these two dimensions meet and touch. In this way, Beuchot alleges that the human being has a symbolic aspect that seems to overcome the biological one, since, just as he needs his organic part to live, it requires sense to be able to exist fully.
