The man is a rational animal? What means to be human?
As I said Fernando Pessoa (1888/1935): a corpse postponed.
There are several examples to try to identify the man.
The meaning of our existence ... The reason for being is a theme present throughout history.
Why is there something rather than nothing?
The science provides some answers, but gave contradictory manner.
"The man is a creature that refuses to be what it is" (Albert Camus).
The behaviour of human beings becomes indecipherable because behind a variety of índoles, and the vanity and the accompanying means corporate influence.
Investido in a position of command (secretary (a) of government) it is assumed higher. Promotes himself to an assistance even if imaginary. He refuses to be lenient. Imagine is a "tax". Displays your badge 24hs. Mira in the super-man, the woman wonder.

Interferimos in nature and it in us. Convivemos with that relationship of reciprocity: HUMAN / WORLD. In that action and that coexistence man becomes human. Advém hence the HOMINIZAÇÀO. This enables us to be producer.

In the small towns, the city-states were born, the POLIS.
Let''s meet in Athens royalist governments, tyrants ... Until that arises democracy. (Not yet representative democracy as the modern).
