Tentang eBook ini

What It Means to Be Human What is a Human? Is it, as science wants you to believe, a creature that arose from mud or, as the priest tells you, a being of soul-motivated flesh? What and who are you? One thing for sure, dead matter doesn't think! In this book, Wolfgang Fries critically examines the age-old philosophical question of what it means to be human using straight talk and common sense. One thing is certain. You are alive and try to live a life as a human being. You have your notions of how to live your life, but your ideas regarding life are countered by certain intentions, which make life a difficult and complicated task. So we have these two things, your notions and counter intentions, which give you a frame of living. To subsist in life, a certain amount of knowledge and understanding is necessary. But to establish understanding, knowledge has to be evaluated with respect to right and wrong, important and unimportant. The author maintains that only by understanding the complex issues that present themselves today will the human being be able to achieve personal goals and survive in this world. He covers such timely topics as coping with stress, fake news, the influence of the media, big pharma, big government, rampant materialism, illnesses and the novel coronavirus. No prior knowledge of moral philosophy is necessary to benefit from what readers will surely find to be an indispensable book.
