| Great Thoughts |
If we want to characterize the human in relation to other live organisms, without resorting to metaphysical hypotheses, we must point to the immense potential for movement that humans alone possess among all living beings. Our psychological complexity stems from our extraordinary mobility which allows us to explore all corners of the world, a mobility we don’t just passively acknowledge, but also hope to expand. So far, we can successfully travel through space, plunge into water, overcome fire (not without fear), descend underground, and penetrate objects after examining their surfaces. This feeling of freedom, power, and domination over things keeps us skeptical about any cosmic determinism controlling humanity. We experience a sense of free will. Pierre Mabille
