The Human Condition, published in 1958, was a wide-ranging and systematic treatment of what Arendt called the vita activa (Latin: "active life"). She defended the classical ideals of work, citizenship, and political action against what she considered a debased obsession with mere welfare. [http://global.britannica.com/].

A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then—diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions—continue to confront us today. This new edition, published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of its original publication, contains an improved and expanded index and a new introduction by noted Arendt scholar Margaret Canovan which incisively analyzes the book's argument and examines its present relevance. A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely. Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was one of the leading social theorists in the United States. Her Lectures on Kant's Political Philosophy and Love and Saint Augustine are also published by the University of Chicago Press.

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.

'It made me rethink the roots of our deepest fears and insecurities, and why we often disappoint ourselves in how we manifest them' Bill Clinton, Guardian Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the 'why' of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie - man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. The book argues that human civilisation is a defence against the knowledge that we are mortal beings. Becker states that humans live in both the physical world and a symbolic world of meaning, which is where our 'immortality project' resides. We create in order to become immortal - to become part of something we believe will last forever. In this way we hope to give our lives meaning. In The Denial of Death, Becker sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates decades after it was written.

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.

Hannah Arendt’s 1958 The Human Condition was an impassioned philosophical reconsideration of the goals of being human. In its arguments about the kind of lives we should lead and the political engagement we should strive for, Arendt’s interpretative skills come to the fore, in a brilliant display of what high-level interpretation can achieve for critical thinking. Good interpretative thinkers are characterised by their ability to clarify meanings, question accepted definitions and posit good, clear definitions that allow their other critical thinking skills to take arguments deeper and further than most. In many ways, The Human Condition is all about definitions. Arendt’s aim is to lay out an argument for political engagement and active participation in society as the highest goals of human life; and to this end she sets about defining a hierarchy of ways of living a “vita activa,” or active life. The book sets about distinguishing between our different activities under the categories of “labor”, “work”, and “action” – each of which Arendt carefully redefines as a different level of active engagement with the world. Following her clear and careful laying out of each word’s meaning, it becomes hard to deny her argument for the life of “action” as the highest human goal.

The human condition is the print or manner in which you, human beings, and Humanity as a whole influence those around, the human environment, the entire world, and Life herself. Many human conditions that you leave behind come back to influence you just as well. Many times, you know it well, and many times, you do not. And it is very easy for me to write in these books how wonderful you should be while bringing your most favorable contribution to the world, but you have to interconnect with the world as best as you can, favorably and unfavorably, just the way those around constrain you, only to make it through, to fulfill your needs. And just the way you remain conscious of all environmental conditions influencing your own fulfillment and condition of life, in society, and in the world, you should remain conscious with all conditions that you leave behind you through your own life and behavior. Because just the way life copes with the environment throughout a continuous sacrifice as Science depicts it, this outside environment is always alive, 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 contribution to the world. But if you give in and see your environment as a continuously challenging unfavorable condition since this is what Science depicts, then you might be tempted to engage in a win-lose relationship with the environment, unnecessarily. While the environment is alive, formed of not only nature, roads, and cities, but formed of the entire human society. And now, if you become a negative condition of the environmental by engaging in a win-lose relationship with the environment, the entire world has to cope with you exactly as Science teaches, you become an unfavorable condition in the world, and you do not stand a chance. Because you are only one, and they are an entire world. And many times, it feels indeed, as the entire world is against you. And when it happens, you have to look for answers everywhere in the environment and closer to home just as well, within your own human conditions, the conditions that you implement in the world yourself. And it is even more significantly when you implement these alongside others, in organized groups as mobs, armies, bands, hierarchies, brotherhoods, ideologies, and even jurisdictions. Because life, the world, and the human society are very complex, swinging continuously with and against you, since your environment is filled with conditions, good, bad, favorable, unfavorable, natural, and fictitious, and it is meaningful to identify, predict, and control them all. Throughout this book, we study the human condition along with all environmental conditions influencing the human existence, as the human condition of life, the human social condition, and the human higher condition. We identify all favorable and unfavorable existential elements, along with all their consequences in the human life, for a better fulfillment.
