Human All Too Human

"WHAT IS?"- the question of being? This is the inaugural question in philosophy. All of us have vacillating perspectives on the question of Being because it is more contingent on 'Experience' than the "I". But today in this merciless, anything but a fair world order of which we are a part of, the Question has to be "Why" - Why is the very being of many Beings is in jeopardy? These wars, consumerism, lack of compassion, moribund social consciousness, starving subalterns and what not.

On Humanism

Please read through this review by Terry Eagleton of humanist Edward W. Said's collected lectures in Humanism and Democratic Criticism. I believe this has a lot to do about what we are really trying to achieve here.
