Who this is
“He argued that you are not a soul trapped in a setting or a body stamped out by one — you are a lifelong task: a self that only becomes real by working on the world it was thrown into.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The most basic reality is neither the mind nor the world but my life — "I am I and my circumstance" — and reason exists to serve that life, not to float above it.”
