Michael Landmann, one of the prominent philosophers and scholars of our time, died in Haifa, Israel on January 25, 1984 at the age of seventy. He has enriched contemporary philosophy through his numerous writings whose principal theme was man's place in the world, or 'philosophical anthropology,' summarized as the conception of man as an individual with knowledge of his place within a historical tradition; man is therefore an expression of subjective and objective spirit at the same time. In this manner, he merges philosophical anthropology with cultural anthropology. Co-published with the Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology, this volume includes a foreword by Ze'ev Levy.
