Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View

Methodology and Conclusions

In «Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View», Immanuel Kant employs a methodology based on observation and analysis of human behavior in everyday life. He seeks to understand how people interact with each other and the world around them, and how these interactions shape their moral and intellectual qualities. Kant views anthropology as a science that should be pragmatic, meaning useful for practical life. He divides anthropology into physiological and pragmatic, where the former studies humans as natural beings, and the latter as social and moral beings. In his conclusions, Kant emphasizes the importance of self-knowledge and self-improvement for achieving moral progress and a harmonious society. He also notes that understanding human nature and behavior can contribute to the improvement of social institutions and interpersonal relationships.
