Back to Humanity Itself
The subject matter of this book is humanity. Humanity here is understood as the substanceor secondary substance, in Aristotelian termthat names a family of beings, or humankind. What kind of substance is humanity? How ought humankind live? What can be values to humankind? These are questions among questions of humanity. Heaven lasts. Earth endures. And humans live. Of all themes of philosophical inquiry, no theme is more important than that of humanity. Of all beings in the universe, no other beings are more significant than humanity as the object of human inquiry. Humankind, what a family of beingsthe only family of beings that are self-conscious and to which their own Being is, and can be, an issue to them! Humanity, what a substance existing in the universe, a value enlightening the universe, and a way of existence summarizing the universe! What a wonder of creation and evolution!
