seem to paradoxically require us to propose boundaries for what is human without being able to believe in these boundaries as before. Such a paradox, which operates
both in the epistemic expectations of the natural and human sciences and in debate and public opinion in the globalized world, also poses a challenge to philosophy.
Why is it necessary to draw this boundary between the human and the non-human? What type of boundary might this be? Is it even possible to draw such a boundary?
In order to keep afloat a meaningful life, some ways of understanding the existence as a whole may be more functional than others. This functionality depends on the metaphorical background that holds these understandings and their hermeneutical performance: on one hand, their ability to provide direction as responses to questions about the meaning of anything, on the other, as visions that challenge us to act in one way or another. The purpose of this article is to examine the performance of some types of metaphors in order to understand the existence as a whole. It contrasts H. Blumenberg’s assessment of the metaphor “shipwreck with spectator” as para- digm of existence, with the assessment of “constant navigation”, as a metaphor that allows us to appreciate the mundane tasks that usually make significant the life of human beings.

El libro aborda la problemática antropológica desde una perspectiva filosófica, en el marco de las tradiciones fenomenológicas, hermenéuticas y deconstructivas contemporáneas, que han encontrado en las obras de Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida y Hans Blumenberg, destacados representantes. En el trasfondo de estas navegaciones resuena, sin ser dominante, un diálogo con el pensamiento reaccionario de Nicolás Gómez Dávila y las críticas de fondo al proyecto antropológico de la modernidad.
Lo dicho irrita al modo de pensar moderno. No cabe en sus oídos. Es escandaloso, además, porque usa su mismo lenguaje. He ahí la gracia de toda deconstrucción: con las mismas armas, con las mismas piedras.

156 BLUMENBERG: LA APUESTA POR LA ILUSTRACIÓN TARDÍA
examinar el rendimiento vital de las posibles reacciones hermenéuticas ante la amenaza del fin. Cuando se trata de salvar la significatividad que hace viable lo humano, el peso del examen recae, por tanto, en el impacto para la sobrevivencia antropológica de los recursos de interpretación de un tiempo acelerado bajo la presión de su fin. Habrá entonces distintas posibilidades de elaboración metafó- rica de esa amenaza; metáforas de fondo que reflejan, al mismo que tiempo que distancian, la presión que genera la conciencia tempórea de la finitud de todo mundo. Como un espejo para ver a Medusa.
