Sami Pihlström develops a special kind of philosophical anthropologya pragmatic yet transcendental examination of the human conditionthat interprets what is worth preserving in the tradition of transcendental philosophy in such a manner that this unusual combination will crucially enrich our understanding of a human problem we all share: mortality. In some sense, all serious philosophy inevitably reflects on the human condition and is thus philosophical anthropology, broadly conceived.

This is a work that well rewards careful reading. -- John Ryder, American University of Malta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface 1.Introduction 2.Mortality and philosophical anthropology 3.The self as a limit  4.Death—mine or the other’s? 5.Death, guilt, and (in)equality 6.Controlling death?
