Reflections on Human Purpose. Dedicated to the Philosophical and Life Teacher for Many

Abstract

Reflections on Human Purpose. Dedicated to the Philosophical and Life Teacher for Many. – The article is based on the thesis that environment which is naturally inhospitable then colonized by living beings – their role is to overcome this hostility and thus (through instinctive activity of non-human beings, or consciously by humans) create its hospitable character. Human world is good when possibility to trust and believe (each other) is opened. This (mutual) trust is not based (only) on an abstract idea but depends substantially on the personal commitment to act upon it, share and thus realize it in reality. (Not rational consideration and reasoned act but rather) this committed activity then opens spaces for dialogue in which others can participate and also develop individually as human beings throughout whole their lives. For opening of such a space we thank to our teacher, Professor Radim Palouš.
