The Unfinished Human (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The human being is an anomaly in the natural world. While other species arrive with a comprehensive set of instincts, a biological blueprint that dictates their behavior, habitat, and social structures, humans enter existence remarkably unformed. We are, in the words of the philosophical anthropologist Arnold Gehlen, "deficient beings" (Mängelwesen), biologically under-equipped for immediate survival in any specific environment but endowed with a compensatory surplus of plasticity. Unlike the specialist predator designed for the savannah or the aquatic mammal adapted to the sea, the human is a generalist, defined not by a specific niche but by an openness to the world. This lack of specialization is not a defect; it is the very foundation of our freedom. It forces us to build a "second nature", culture, language, technology, and identity, to bridge the gap between our biological insufficiency and the demands of existence.
