Summary:The course of the Anthropology as a whole explicates the process whereby originary substance, leaving behind the natural world, progressively differentiates itself until it becomes an individual subject. This movement unfolds in three moments which structure the exposition: self-identity, rupture, return to unity. The meaning of this division organizes itself in the process of the soul’s singularization which, from its beginning in the ‘universal’ (understood as ‘the immaterialism of nature’ or ‘simple ideal life’), moves progressively towards self-individuation until it becomes ‘singular self’. From the ‘sleep of spirit’1 to the ‘soul as work of art’2 the genesis of the individual is accomplished, that individual which, configured as the ‘Man’, finally stands forth in the guise of a statue.
