Human Essence

Human Essence


What counts as being human? What do human do which non-human don’t? What do human possess which non-human don’t? These classifications may be human distinctions over other creatures.

But according to the Importance vs Unimportance Theory, human essence seems to include almost everything, no, it does include everything. Without other creatures and their essences, human cannot distinguish their essence from others’. Here, it can be said that human being is different in referring to other creatures.

Actually, human is NOT different from other creatures in terms of being world “creatures”. However, if we say human is different from other creatures in this world, then every creature is different from one another.

Question: is human really different?
