What is it about?
Karl Löwith’s anthropological critique of existential analytic aims to develop an anthropological counter-paradigm (i. e. Mitanthropologie), in opposition to Heidegger’s fundamental ontology. Within such a framework, my paper focuses on two topics: the Miteinandersein (Being-with-one-another) and above all the Sein zum Tode (Being-towards-death).

Why is it important?
My paper explains and tries to develop a fascinating (and little known) critical approach to existential analytic. My aim is to show that Loewith's perspective can be used in order to overcome Heidegger's "anthropological interdict", namely his convicition of an aut-aut between anthropology and ontology.
Perspectives
I hope this paper can help to open a new hermeneutical approach to existential analytic and to give the right attention to Karl Loewith's anthropology (Mitanthropologie). Moreover I think this paper can be useful both to overcome Heidegger's "anthropological interdict" and to create a link between Loewith and the renaissance of the philosophical anthropology in the last century (Scheler, Plessner, Gehlen).
