EL SENTIDO SUCEDÁNEO: UNA APROXIMACIÓN A LA ANTROPOLOGÍA DE ODO MARQUARD

Ths paper aims to show current philosophical anthropology pertinenceto face up the question of meaning of human life. Exploring Marquard’stheory and his comprehension of human being as Homo Compensator‒which allow to overcome the problems of modernity plunged in the gnosis dilemma, that in the absence of an absolute meaning it fails tounderstand the problem of evil‒ this paper fistly analyzes how modernityanswered that problem from theodicy and philosophy of history. Aftrwards, due to the failures of these attempts, Marquard’s compensation proposal will be discussed as a search on a substitute meaning in the contextof a philosophy of fiitude, which advocates for a rhetorical-narrativemeaning. Th paper concludes with the problem of the non-compensableand its dilemmas on understanding meaning.
