Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a fundamental question that has occupied philosophers for centuries: What does it mean to be an individual? The author, starting from the commonplace understanding of individuality as a state of being unique and distinct, reveals the complexities inherent in this seemingly simple idea. They argue that while we naturally believe in the individuality of things, our senses and even our most abstract thinking fail to capture the true essence of uniqueness. The author proposes that the individual is not a fixed entity, but a process, an ongoing pursuit of an ideal. This pursuit, they argue, is at the heart of our most profound human experiences, from love to scientific inquiry. The author explores this idea through a captivating analysis of human relationships, highlighting the inherent mystery and irreducibility of the individuals we love. This book invites readers to engage with a deeper understanding of individuality, transcending the limitations of mere observation and definition to embrace a richer and more nuanced conception of the self and the world. Ultimately, the book argues that if individuality is real, it is bound to a teleological world where purpose, intention, and will are not merely abstract concepts but driving forces of existence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781440032264_0
