L’emergenza della questione antropologica nell'ultimo Rickert

he emergence of the anthropological question in the late Rickert. This paper traces the emergence of the anthropological question in the philosophy of Heinrich Rickert by examining the role played by anthropological philosophy in the latter developments of Rickert´s system of thought. In pursuing this goal, we point to a set of works written in the 1930s as the turning point in Rickert´s inquiry, where the inner articulation of his philosophical system was redefined by designating a broad space for the anthropological issues. By focusing on such issues this paper also wishes to lay out a thorough introduction to the first Italian translation of Rickert´s essay Thesen zum System der Philosophie and to a part of the unpublished notes the philosopher used in delivering the 1932 lectures on Sozialphilosophie. According to the herein hermeneutic thesis, these works – together – are indeed the locus where we should recognise the earliest emergence of the anthropological question in Rickert´s philosophy.
