Abstract
A student of Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann, Arnold Gehlen was a German anthropologist and philosopher of the twentieth century. His main work “Man, his nature and place in the world” is full of ideas on which to reflect [1].
It is radically wrong to think we can indicate intelligence as the basic difference between man and animal: the difference exists on the anatomic plane, the motor-sensory and that of physiology of the senses. A. Gehlen, Man (1940)
