“However, within the limits of the human, it is important to recognise our common humanity. I think that a perspective based on common human needs has the most chance of being accepted and this does not depend on any particular metaphysical outlook.” ThinkingNeedsHumansDoeImportantHumanityChanceCommonParticularPerspectiveDependsLimitsAcceptedMetaphysicalOutlookRecogniseHuman NeedsCommon HumanityBeing Accepted Author:Alison Assiter
“A human being is not one thing among others; things determine each other, but man is ultimately self-determining. What he becomes - within the limits of endowment and environment- he has made out of himself. In the concentration camps, for example, in this living laboratory and on this testing ground, we watched and witnessed some of our comrades behave like swine while others behaved like saints. Man has both potentialities within himself; which one is actualized depends on decisions but not on conditions.” MenHumansMadeSelfHuman BeingsDecisionEnvironmentOne ThingConditionsExampleDependsLimitsSaintDetermineBehaveConcentrationCampsTestingLaboratoryComradeSearch For MeaningEndowmentConcentration CampSwine Book:Man's Search For Meaning, Gift Edition Source: Man's Search For Meaning, Gift Edition
