In the reception of philosophical hermeneutics, especially in its most popular version in the XXI century - the concept of H.-G. Gadamer, there are certain stable trends - an emphasis on the theory of experience, primarily aesthetic, attention to deriving consequences from hermeneutical theory for the humanities, mainly philological and legal. However, if modern research turns to anthropological problems and looks for analysis tools in hermeneutics, it rather turns to the theory of interpretation by C. Geertz or P. Bourdieu, the hermeneutic studies of P.Ricœur or M.Foucault. Does this mean that the “New Anthropology” project, organized by Gadamer in collaboration with Paul Vogler in the 70s, turned out to be unsuccessful and went unnoticed by the scientific community? Or else does it only mean that the efforts of the interdisciplinary team assembled to prepare and publish 7 volumes of the New Anthropology, were not in vain making a reserve for the future? As well as, has this future come in the context of contemporary interest towards naturalistic concepts of consciousness and cognitive research? The report plans to answer this question positively and offer a justification for this point of view
