"This introduction brings together major themes in Greek Patristic anthropology - the image of God in the human being the Fall from Paradise, and the human condition in the present life and in the age to come. St. Basil the Great addresses the questions posed by the human condition with characteristic clarity, balance, and sobriety." "The volume begins with two discourses on the creation of humanity and a homily on the causes of evil, translated into English for the first time, and contains a new translation of a famous homily meditating on our human identity and experience. The volume also includes Letter 233 to Amphilochius of Iconium, St. Basil's spiritual son - a succinct and pointed discussion of how the human mind functions, the activity for which God created it, and how it can be used for good, evil, or morally neutral purposes. This letter complements the discussion of emotions in St. Basil's Homily against Anger, also included in this volume. Finally, the book includes excerpts from St. Basil's fatherly instructions to his ascetic communities, commonly known as the Long Rules, or the Great Asceticon."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Human Condition is a response to the growing disenchantment in the Western world with contemporary life. John Kekes provides rationally justified answers to questions about the meaning of life, the basis of morality, the contingencies of human lives, the prevalence of evil, the nature and extent of human responsibility, and the sources of values we prize. He offers a realistic view of the human condition that rejects both facile optimism and gloomy pessimism; acknowledges that we are vulnerable to contingencies we cannot fully control; defends a humanistic understanding of our condition; recognizes that the values worth pursuing are plural, often conflicting, and that there are many reasonable conceptions of well-being. Kekes emphasizes the importance of facing the fact that man's inhumanity to man is widespread. He rejects as simple-minded both the view that human nature is basically good and that it is basically bad, and argues that our well-being depends on coping with the complex truth that human nature is basically complicated. Finally, Kekes argues that the scheme of things is indifferent to our fortunes and that we can rely only on our own resources to make what we can of our lives.

Incubated by the author for more than a decade, the book contains profound lessons about humanity. This novel raises the question: What is it to be human? London in the spring of 2000: Chris Putnam, a young scientist working on the Human Genome Project, is grieving for the end of his first relationship and for the loss of his deeply religious and estranged father. Then Chris falls in love and his brother goes missing. Events take Chris on a journey from research labs via decadent art-scene parties and London's Theatreland to the stark loneliness of a psychiatric hospital and ultimately to a desperate decision. What Chris discovers about himself forces him to address his beliefs, his nature, and even reality itself. Incubated by the author for more than a decade, the book contains profound lessons and messages about people.

This book summarizes the work of several decades, culminating in a revolutionary model of recent human evolution. It challenges current consensus views fundamentally, presenting in its support a mass of evidence, much of which has never been assembled before. This evidence derives primarily from archaeology, paleoanthropology, genetics, clinical psychology, neurosciences, linguistics and cognitive sciences. No even remotely similar thesis of recent human origins has ever been published, but some of the key elements of this book have been published by the author in major refereed journals in the last two years. Its implications are far-reaching and profoundly affect the way we perceive ourselves as a species. This book about what it means to be human is heavily referenced, with a bibliography of many hundreds of scientific entries.

As can only happen in New York, two strangers find themselves railroaded into an anger-management class, where they soon become fast friends. Iris is there because of an eminently justifiable meltdown on a crowded flight, whereas Ken got caught defacing library books with rude (but true!) messages about his former boyfriend. The boyfriend that he caught in bed with another man. Needless to say, Iris and Ken were cosmically destined to be friends. What follows is a strikingly original comedy as Ken enlists Iris to infiltrate his ex-boyfriend’s life in the hope of discovering that he’s miserable. And Iris reciprocates, dispatching Ken to work himself into the confidence of her own boyfriend, whom she suspects of cheating. But what if Ken’s ex isn’t crying himself to sleep? What if he’s not the amoral fiend Ken wants to believe he is? And what should Iris do when her worst suspicions start to come true? Exactly how perfect do we have the right to expect our fellow human beings to be? Anger, betrayal, loyalty, and friendship—Design Flaws of the Human Condition explores these universal themes with wisdom, compassion, and a wickedly irreverent sense of humor.

The potential to clone, augment, and repair human beings is pushing the very concept of the human to its limit. Fantasies and metaphors of a supposedly monstrous and inhuman future increasingly dominate films, art and popular culture. On the Human Condition is an invigorating and fascinating exploration of where the idea of the human stands today. Given the damage human beings have inflicted on each other and their environment throughout history, should we embrace humanism or try and overcome it? Dominique Janicaud explores these urgent questions and more. He argues that whilst we need to avoid apocalyptic talk of a post human condition, as embodied in technology such as cloning, we should neither fall back on a conservative humanism nor become technophobic. Drawing on illuminating examples such as genetic engineering, the novel Frankenstein, the legendary debate between Sartre and Heidegger over humanism, and the work of Primo Levi, Domnique Janicaud also explores the role of fantasy in understanding the human condition and asks where the line lies between the human, inhuman and the superhuman.

The human condition is the print or manner in which you and humanity influence those around, the human environment, the entire world, and Life herself. Furthermore, the specific human conditions that you enhance yourself come back to influence you just as well, knowingly or unknowingly. And it is very easy for me to write in these books how wonderful and harmonious you should be in this world while bringing your most favorable contribution to this world, but you always interconnect with this world as best as you can, favorably and unfavorably, just as those around constrain and allow you, only to be able to fulfill your needs. Since as you study history, some people choose to die than to become dreadful conditions in this world, while others never care, and now this is this world. While there are always tyrants throughout the upper layers of society seeking to be the worst conditions possible in this world, only to debilitate this world, rendering it controllable, discriminatory, and therefore exploitable. Since just as you remain aware of all environmental conditions influencing your own fulfillment and condition in life, in society, and in this world, you should remain aware of all conditions that you leave behind through your own life and behavior. Because just as life copes with the environment throughout a continuous toil as science describes, this outside environment is alive itself, it is part of life, it is made of life, and it has you in it just as well, along with your loved ones and your entire condition and contribution to this world. But if you give in and see your environment as a continuously challenging harmful condition since this is what science states, then you engage in win-lose interactions with the environment unnecessarily, while the environment is similar to you, formed of life, people, and the entire human society. And now, if you become a negative condition of this world by engaging in win-lose interactions with this world, knowingly or unknowingly, the entire world has to cope with you, exactly as science states. While as an unfavorable condition in this world, you do not stand a chance, because you are one and they are an entire world, with or against you. Unless you are organized in this world, to have people against people in this world, which is the most dreadful condition in this world. Because life, this world, and the human society are very complex, swinging continuously with and against you, since your environment is filled up with conditions that are good, bad, favorable, unfavorable, natural, and consensual, as it is significant to identify, predict, and control them. Throughout this book, we study the human condition along with all environmental conditions influencing the human existence, as the human condition in life and in this world, the human social condition, and the human higher conditions. We also identify all favorable and unfavorable existential elements along with their consequences, for a better fulfillment.
