The purpose of this thesis is to understand and criticize Karl Barth's Theological Anthropologh. All Sciences and man philosophy have the problem of the Existence and essence of man as its ultimate task. Trough Karl Barth's Theological Anthropology, we shall have a new horizen for the under standing of man. Barth searches for man in the light of Jesus Christ. He Says, on the ground of traceitional christology, that Jesus is real God and real man. Therefore, Jesus is real man who atained the uniqueness in creation. He is the archetypal man and this man is man.
The nature of human, illuminated in the light of Jesus, is as follows.
First; man is being for God because man is creature of God.
Second; man is being for his fellows. As he is the covenant-partner of God, he acquires the ground of relation to others.
Third; man is neither a body nor a soul, but he is a whole man of soul and body.
A lots of theologians criticize that Barth's Theology has the system of abstract and metaphysical Idealism espicially of Schleiermacher and Hegel. Therefore the revelation of God is in the distance from the real history and event. Hence, Barth's 'Revelation' become a monologue in the heaven.
Nevertheless, Barth's christocentric Anthropology stauds on the most firm ground in the christian history.
