anthropography

Just as an individual has a biography, so to, also with all the uncertainties and ambiguities of an individual's life, there can readily be conceived the anthropography of mankind, considered as a (in)coherent story. The idea is more inclusive than eg the German Geistesgeschichte or "the history of mankind", or "the spiritual history of mankind", "the history of ideas", etc.

It is a concept which would, as a goal, as a psychology, surpass the divisions developed during history or in academia, of eg literature, religion, philosophy, psychology, history, science, anthropology, art...the humanities, the sciences, the arts, technology....
It would be an attitude, a quest, a perspective to look at the human being -- gnothi seauton -- individually and collectively, sub specie aeternitatis, and not just sub specie scientiae, sub specie academiae.
