Abstract
Three questions open this text: Is it possible to do anthropology from a philosophic perspective today? Is philosophic anthropology an outdated discourse? Or, is it just the contemporary attitude of suspicion of the 'who' of the question that shows more than an urgency, the urgency to have to become a human being? The author points anyone who encountered teacher Rubio could appreciate him as a man wearing out in humanity and as a philosopher completely committed to the human task in discourse. And, being in tune with Lévinas, the author holds humanity has always to be taught, humanity is achieved by the grace of a teacher. In the constitution of the human an irruption is always needed, a disenchantment of oneself; and, the teacher annoys me for it. Teacher Rubio was both the great accuser of totalitarian dreams and the defender of the accused ones in misery. That is to say, he responsibly taught philosophic anthropology.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
