Abstract: The author of this paper advances a hypothesis that all available schools in anthropological thought together with the existing systematics may be divided in two types: Ego-Anthropology (focussed on I) and Alter-Anthropology (focussed on He, or Other). It is suggested 1) that for Anthropology, or at least for Ego-Anthropology unavoidably faced with the problems of transcendental and aprior levels of consciousness the linguistic aspect should be an inseparable (constitutive) component, and 2) that the principle of unilateral duality has, contrary to thesis by early Laruelle, a significant anthropological dimension in the spirit of Ego-Anthropology.
