Abstract

Anthropologists have never stopped studying “human”. The original archaeological research, the interpretation in the field of biology, and the analysis from the spiritual level, all have an inseparable relationship with “human”: human is not only the subject of research, but also the object. As early as 1938, Marcel Mauss, a famous French anthropologist, published a detailed discussion on the spiritual category of human beings at the Huxley memorial speech. This paper briefly analyzes the construction of the concept of human in the spiritual level from three aspects of hierarchy, religion and morality.
