| Summary: | The paper attempts to explore the way for learning to be human. Everyone desires to be human. But how is it possible? To answer this question, the author will discuss both historical and logical methods as potential keys for that goal. And challenging the effectiveness of these methods, it is proposed another way. The author considers the concepts of history, identity, and freedom as mutually determined entities. In the historical sense, history develops to its culmination, manifests its internal capabilities, and reveals itself and becomes a pure, free, and non-compulsory history. From an anthropological point of view, a person gets rid of internal and external shackles, and acquires or builds his/her true identity and history. In the framework of ontology, first of all, there is a conscious identity that, through the creation of history, records its freedom. This concept provides an opportunity to better understand the human being and his/her history. |
