We Are Not Born Human
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/22/opinion/we-are-not-born-human.html
Being human means taking a leap out of the natural order. To be human requires an escape, in one way or another, from that mass of atoms, cells and particles from which you and I and everything else is composed. It is to be endowed with a soul, which — even if it is immaterial, without expanse or density, even if it is perfectly invisible, impalpable and inconsistent — acts as a passport out of nature and into our human essence.
By Bernard-Henri LévyMr. Lévy is a French philosopher, filmmaker and activist.
