The author of these considerations puts a question, non-trivial from the point of view of science of science, about relationship of theoretic-methodological consistency between research sub-disciplines regarded by their own creators as discourses of paradigms corresponding to one another in a general philosophical perspective. As a historical example used for this analysis serves the concept of the sociology of knowledge and of the philosophical anthropology, developed - as elements of an overall philosophical perspective - by Max Scheler (1874-1928), beside E. Husserl the most widely known representative of the phenomenological movement in the 20th century. M. Scheler had often articulated his intention in his writings that philosophical anthropology should form a basis of categories of the sociology of knowledge, a reservoir of philosophical assumptions for socio-cognitive ideas. The hypothesis of the present paper is as follows: (a) some fragments of Schelerian sociology of knowledge (the so-called concepts of 'class idols') would be very hard to thought ot as 'grounded' in that meaning into the model of philosophical anthropology that he had proposed; (b) an anthropology different from Schelerian may be indicated (by Helmuth Plessner) more logically consistent with the idea of 'class idol'.

The author presents three main types of reference to human corporeality in the anti-Cartesian philosophical anthropology of the XX century: 1.The phenomenological description of the bodily experience (M. Merleau-Ponty. H. Schmitz, E. Strauss). 2.The constitutive role of human body in the structure of the definitions of humanity proposed by the classical philosophical anthropology of the XX century (M. Scheler, H. Plessner, A. Gehlen). 3.Human corporeality from the perspective of the historical anthropology (H. Schmitz, N. Elias). In the last fragment of his deliberations author shows the contemporary attempts of making the connection between the significant topics of the anthropology of human body and the ethical and aesthetic discourse (J. Habermas, G. Böhme).
