“Being Human” by Charles Foster is a profound exploration of what it means to be a human being. Foster, a renowned barrister and ethicist, delves into the complexities of human existence, examining the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects that define us. He challenges conventional wisdom and societal norms, questioning what truly makes us human. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines including philosophy, science, religion, and law, Foster presents a compelling argument that being human is not just about biological existence, but also about our interactions with the world and our capacity for empathy, love, and understanding. He argues that to fully embrace our humanity, we must acknowledge our vulnerabilities and imperfections, and strive for authenticity in our relationships and actions. The book is a thought-provoking journey that encourages readers to reflect on their own lives and consider what it truly means to be human. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the human condition and our place in the world.
