Das Paar als Quelle des Selbst

Zu den soziobiologischen Grundlagen der philosophischen Anthropologie
Published/Copyright: January 15, 2014

Abstract

This paper is about erotic love as source of the self. Unlike in the Platonic tradition, love is interpreted in the light of specific forms of human sexuality. Following modern sociobiological theories I reconstruct the pair-bond as the original site in the development of man. For the philosophy of mind it follows that the unity of personal consciousness can be explained as a dialectic of emotional nearness to and distance from the other.
