The German term ›Menschenbild‹, which, in its modern sense, might be translated as (public) understanding of human nature, is very popular both in publicand in academic discourse. There is widespread consensus that ›Menschenbilder‹ are fundamental to human self-understanding and the organisation of society. This paper examines the history of this concept and follows the multiple changes of its meaning that have occurred between the middle ages and today.
