A Theory of Human Values

By: Michael H. Mitias

Human values do not fall from a metaphysical sky. They originate from the human essence—a universal life force emerging from the natural process. Values arise as an existential response to the desires and essential demands of human nature, a gift to all societies.

Creativity and Aesthetic Theory

Human Dignity and Democracy

By: Michael H. Mitias

£64.99

What makes a life worth living? This book argues that autonomy is the foundation of dignity and the source of the meaning we crave. A life poor in this meaning, regardless of its wealth or success, is a life lived in the cellar of human existence.
