Becoming Human

is a profound exploration of what it means to be human, presenting a nuanced understanding of humanity as an ongoing project rather than a fixed state. The book is structured around three critical lenses: physical, cognitive, and practical, each of which plays a vital role in shaping the human experience. Through these lenses, the authors delve into the intricate interplay between our biological makeup, our cognitive abilities, and our practical engagements with the world, ultimately arguing that true humanity transcends mere physical or cognitive existence. For one to fulfill the role of a human in the world, there is the need to carry out actions that promote human wellbeing.

Our greatest mistake over the generations has been to attribute to everyone the full human status, often without taking into consideration our various contributions for the betterment of the world. This has permitted vice to multiply uncontrollably within the human society. Our definition of what it truly means to be human doesn't specify the various types of humans that live on earth; everyone is simply put on the same platform. As a result, the wolves are hiding among the sheep. To save the sheep, there is a need to separate them from the foes hiding within. Becoming Human lays the groundwork for this very important task.
