This chapter develops a respiratory reconfiguration of philosophical anthropology through a renewed interpretation of temperament. Retrieved in its elemental and symbolic sense, temperament is understood as a mute and embodied mediation of Nature within the human being, irreducible to psychological models or elemental reduction. Through the notion of inspiration and the concept of “phantasmatic doubling,” the chapter outlines a form of negative anthropology in which human individuality persists without reconstituting the modern subject. From this perspective, respiratory philosophy emerges as an inevitable horizon for philosophical anthropology, enabling a reinterpretation of its central notions, including culture and knowledge, in edifying and relational terms rather than demonstrative or mastery-oriented ones.
