| Summary: | In this book, the author argues that human values do not fall from a metaphysical or physical sky, nor do they fall from the mind of an ivory tower philosopher. Firstly, they originate from the human essence, which emerges as a unique phenomenon from the natural process and inheres as a potentiality in the formal organization of the human body. Moreover, the human essence emerges as a life force and seeks to exist and fulfill its destiny according to its nature. Secondly, the human essence does not emerge as a gift of nature to any particular society but to all the societies that comprise the human world. Finally, human values arise as an existential response to peremptory desires that express essential demands of the human essence as a primary impulse to human life. |
