]]> Menschsein spielen proposes a video-philosophical re-reading of the work of one of the founders of philosophical anthropology, which defines human beings as organic beings in their belonging to the living.

Such a philosophical approach offers an effective theoretical tool for opening up original and pointed perspectives to redefine the crisis of anthropocentrism by putting the place and capacities of what is human in relation to what is non-human, be it living or technical. Helmuth Plessner’s work is really brought into play here and serves as the basis for experimental performances and the formulation of new concepts.

The publication gathers two films by Sylvie Boisseau & Frank Westermeyer, which are accessible in full length together with the book, as well as the text by David Zerbib:

– Der Freie Mensch – mit KI, Germany/Switzerland, video 4k, 7:43 min, 2019
– ƒ zwischen den Stufen des Organischen, Germany/Switzerland, video 4k, 20:40 min, 2021
– David Zerbib, Der Mensch, der Hund, der Roboter und die Seerose. Philosophische Anthropologie und Ästhetik des Falls ƒ, 2021
