POLITICS AND PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: THE SEARCH FOR A JUST SOCIETY

This article explores the intersections between political philosophy and philosophical anthropology in the context of contemporary global challenges. Drawing on both classical sources (Plato, Hobbes, Rousseau, Marx) and modern theorists (Honneth, Habermas, Nussbaum, Latour), the study rethinks justice as a dynamic, relational, and contextsensitive concept grounded in the changing nature of the human subject. The research demonstrates that modern political strategies of justice must transcend universalist models and instead be rooted in anthropological realitiesrecognizing the embeddedness of individuals in cultural, social, ecological, and technological networks. The article synthesizes key theoretical perspectives on recognition, participatory democracy, intersectional justice, global redistribution, and environmental responsibility. Methodologically, the study adopts an interdisciplinary framework combining hermeneutic analysis, conceptual mapping, and critical theory. It argues that justice in the 21st century cannot be reduced to procedural fairness or resource distribution but must be understood as an ongoing negotiation of human vulnerability, plurality, and interdependence. The article concludes that philosophical anthropology provides a necessary foundation for reimagining political institutions capable of supporting inclusive, adaptive, and ecologically sustainable forms of justice in a post-global world.
