In truth man is made rather to eat ices than to pore over old texts. Anatole France

is (insofar as he is composed of flesh on the one hand and soul on the other) the problem not of harmony, but of achieving a disharmony that is so valuable that it is worth leaving considerations of harmony behind.

The life of ethical virtue, described in the bulk of the Nicomachean Ethics is intended ot be a harmonious one: after all, it is not a life for flesh and bones alone, but for human sould embodied in flesh and bones. The problem for Aristotle's man is not the impossibility of a harmonious life, but the possibility of a certain type of disharmonious life so valuable that it is worth leaving consideration of harmony behind (Lear, Jonathan. Aristotle: The Desire to Understand p. 312

is a 'praxis'. Man is a social, rather than a political animal.

In Capital Marx defines man as a 'social animal,' criticizing Aristotle's definition of man as a 'political animal' as being 'quite as characteristic of ancient classical society as Franklin's definition of man as a tool-making animal is characteristic of Yankeedom' (Fromm, Erich.

is a being that emerges only through the event whereby reality is 'de-realized.' Phenomenology is nothing but the express attempt to explicate that event.

Viewed from such a perspective, Husserl's 'phenomenological reduction' is no new philosophical 'technique,' but is the definitive event in the history of man. Man emerges only through the event whereby reality is 'de-realized,' and phenomenology is nothing but the express attempt to explicate that event. To return to Heidegger's terminology, phenomenology is the world. (Seeburger 1975 : 216)

is a being that is not 'in' the world as one object among others, rather, he is that through which the world first comes to be disclosed as world.

Man, writes Heidegger, is not 'in' the world as one object present at hand among other objects, but is 'in' the world precisely as that being through which the world first comes to be disclosed as world. (Seeburger 1975 : 213)
