The Human Condition: Contemplation Key to Understanding

Human condition: an important question of thinking asks the average Americans about what is wrong in his country, and you will get a series of standard answers. Some who says health, some say violent crime, others say drugs. Some people complain about high taxes or may point out that they need gun control. Of course there is evidence that these are very important issues. However, these are superficial and have deeper problems, so there is no simple legislative solution.

The most interesting part of Arendt's work is not the classification of human activities but the analysis of the changing human condition of each age. In ancient times, mankind's highest activity was behavior and contemplation. Labor and labor have been despised. Working, maintaining and maintaining living means getting the necessary power. It took me a while to get away from the field of political behavior, that is great words and acts, and philosophical pondering. Slavery in the ancient world was a means to alleviate the need for free people and made it possible for him to concentrate on action and contemplation.

One of the important themes of Shakespeare's "Tragedy of King Lear" and "Princess Ephesus of Sophocles" is to fully understand our condition as a human being. However, at the same time, both authors are aware that the blindness of knowledge about this human condition is a fundamentally lethal feature. So, before you understand human condition, you must endure the trip of wisdom. The two authors are watching the journey of wisdom from the figurative aspect of seeing blindness. Vision is a metaphor often used for perception, knowledge, consciousness.
