“We declare that only man exists. This is not to say that material, inorganic nature and nonhuman beings-animals and plants-are in any sense unreal, insubstantial, or illusory because they do not so exist. We merely state that the reality of these nonhuman realms differs from that of human existence, whose primary characteristic is Da-sein (literally being-the-there)... Man as man is present... in a manner wholly different from... inanimate things.” MenHumansDifferentStatesRealityAnimalExistenceMaterialsPlantPrimariesRealmsCharacteristicsUnrealHuman ExistenceIllusory Author:Medard Boss
“Whether he is aware of it or not, every human being dwells in tradition and history. Human memory is this constant dwelling in tradition. It constitutes that fundamental human characteristic of historicity.” HumansMemoriesHuman BeingsTraditionFundamentalsConstantCharacteristicsDwelling Author:Medard Boss
