ASL 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Wilhelm Dilthey, New International Version, The Examined Life
Document Summary
Vaclev havel (1988) wrote, "the tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less" (p. 237). Havel (1988) makes an accurate statement that men are caring less and less, and it is not even bothering man. The purpose of this is that most people either live an examined or unexamined life as. The examined life would be those who have fully come to know who they are and have found their worldview, which in return can give one purpose. In the biblical perspective section for the week, it talks about a second sight . John 14:6 states that i am the way and the truth and the light (new international version). When god opens your eyes, he expects us to start with ourselves and examine who we are.
