Summary/Abstract: In today’s globalized world anthropology is a transdisciplinary and trans-culturalfield of research. In the here-proposed concept it encompasses five paradigms: 1) hominization/ evolution, 2) philosophical anthropology, 3) historical anthropology/ mentality research, 4) cultural anthropology, 5) historical cultural anthropology. Anthropology contributes to the understanding of the human being at the beginning of the 21st century.Anthropology is characterized by a double historicity and culturality; it encompasses a great variety of research questions, methods and approaches and includes philosophical thinking and self-criticism.
