The present paper studies the keys of Robert Spaemann’s anthropology. Following medieval thinking, Spaemann really distinguishes between person and human nature, properly affirming that the person is in open relation to divine transcendence. Nonetheless, other thesis are also defended such as that, having a nature constitutes a person’s being, assertion that seems to subordinate anthropology to ethics; or that a person is temporary, that is an end in itself, that is known by reflection, premises that seem slightly wrong.
