Silence! When Anthropology Speaks: Recounting Kant's Narrative of Man

This paper is engaged in a dialogue with one of the minor works of Immanuel Kant's-Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View. The value of Kant's work is measured in the context of the Enlightenment's organization of knowledge into a science of Man. More precisely, it examines the fundamental problems at stake when the subject of knowledge is also the object of knowledge. Mainly the polemics lies in the possibility of an objective evaluation or truth and a just practice of science to assure the impartial truth of its results. It raises this question: if Anthropology speaks for the human, how does it practically do so and what truth does it speak?
