Public Lecture (31.07. 18:00h)

The Quest to Discover What is Uniquely Human

Many people have sought to discover some quality or ability that is uniquely human.  To the extent that we need such a discovery, I propose that we can find it by pursuing the analogy drawn in Plato's Republic between the virtue of a person and the virtue of a state. If there is something uniquely human, I propose it is a particular organization of one's capacities. I then elaborate the kind of organization it is by appeal to a reading of Descartes's Meditations.
