Embodied, Enabled and Empowered: Struggles in Encountering Virtues and Values according to Cyril Desbruslais

Authors/Creators

Description

By nature, human being has intrinsic goodness in herself. Throughout the history of humankind, one of the struggles of human being is to live a morally accepted life. In this world of rapid change and technocratic growth, the terms like virtue and value are not a matter of concern.  This is a holistic attempt to affirm the basic philosophical certitude of human goodness and inner order achieved by authentic life. It is true that human being experiences struggle in doing so. In fact, human being is a being in and through struggle.

By unconditional and non-mutual relationship, human being can take her neighbour to excellence. Then, the hindrances to a life of excellence like those of the existential abnormality, animalism in human nature (homo hominu lupus of Thomas Hobbes) selfishness pre-established dualistic ideological tendencies and contradictory human consciousness will wither away.
