摘要：

Set within the backdrop of Helmuth Plessner's notion of,eccentricity,, this article presents the train lines of a narrative anthropology. According to this, human beings, besides our biological and cultural nature (in many aspects shared by other animals), also possess condition; that is, we are capable of questioning our nature. For this reason it is not possible to find a <<firm and safe>> basis that directs our existence in a definitive way. The great pedagogical question, therefore, is not,What are we?, but rather,,How can we orientate our life?>>; <<What meaning do we imbue it with?>> In narrative anthropology this question can never be definitively answered. Consequently, a pedagogy that has as its aim the transmission of <<the full meaning of life>> would have disquieting dogmatic and totalitarian aspects.
