Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 2006.

This dissertation considers the confusions and tensions of an Enlightenment science of man that oscillates between the medical concerns of a physiological anthropology and the normative concerns of a cultural-philosophical anthropology. It places Immanuel Kant and the early German Romantics in this juncture between anthropologies and considers what forms of ethical belonging are possible if, as Friedrich Schlegel says, "we don't know what the human is." What form of anthropology, if any, can account for the pragmatic, what is, and the normative, what ought to be? Less interested in the explicit topics of anthropology---be it the mind-body problem or the contents of travel narratives---and more in the possibility of anthropological inquiry, Immanuel Kant, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Friedrich Schleiermacher and Friedrich von Hardenberg [Novalis] struggle with the aporias of self-implication inherent to this emergent anthropology in which man is both subject and object of inquiry. Their attempts to resolve the confusions of a late eighteenth-century science of man through reflective modes of inquiry indicate the proximity of anthropology and fiction. These problems are considered in chapters on: the emergence of eighteenth-century anthropology, Kant's ethics and his 1798 Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht, Schleiermacher's early ethnographic work, Humboldt's comparative anthropology and incipient linguistic anthropology and Hardenberg's fictionalization of anthropology. This project points to an anthropological tradition in German literature and philosophy that places German Studies at the center of trans-disciplinary debates within the human and social sciences.
