FIELD OF MEANING OF YOUR

EXISTENCE’’

Page 5: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

Our existence is an

existence

through the

others

Human activity is interwoven with an orderly field of meaning, but this orderly field of meaning is at our disposal only through others, through society. This is true in the areas of

work, play, sense perception, thinking, and feelings.

Page 6: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

“In

WORK”He interacts with nature.

He makes use of tools and a working space.

Field of meaning centered around him as a needy being.

Page 7: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

“In the

FIELD OF PLAY’’The playing area, the objects that are given special sense, the possibilities of the human body , the tools (racket, cards, etc.) all form a unity of meaning that is called a GAME”

Page 8: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

“Our sense

perception Seeing, Hearing, Tasting, Smelling,

Touching”

Page 9: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

Seeing takes place within the structure of a figure-horizon (Gestalt).

“Our sense

perception

Page 10: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

I may not be aware of this structure, but the green grass I see outside my window is a figure that stands against the background of the houses of the subdivision, the blue sky and white clouds above it. The senses themselves from a unity of meaning around my body. When I hear the alarm of my clock in the morning, I spontaneously look for it, touch it to switch the alarm off, and look forward to the smell and taste of instant coffee.

“Our sense

perception

“Our

THINKING

haphazard and disorderly it may seem at first, takes place in an orderly field of worldly meaning.

Page 12: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

When faced with problems and questions, we seek for solution and clarity by thinking, a thinking in action (practognosis) or a thinking on a reflective level.The latter involves the use of concepts, of language.

“Our

THINKING

Page 13: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

Our affective life and our emotions may appear to be chaotic in contrast to thinking.

“Our

FEELINGS

Page 14: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

In reality they form an order quite distinct from that of our cognitive life, what Blaise Pascal and Max Scheler call an ordre du Coeur (order of the heart).

“Our affective

life and our

emotions

Page 15: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

Our emotions, affects, striving are generally concerned with values embodied in the world; they betray the hierarchy of values we hold. And as we begin to live in an orderly world, our affective life and emotions gradually assume a more distinct form.

“Our affective

life and our

emotions

Page 16: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

What needs to be shown now is that this orderly field of worldly meaning in human activity depends upon our fellowmen and is in turn dependent upon the human person.

Page 17: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

WE ARE PRODUCT OF OUR PAST”

Page 18: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

The world would be meaningless without the human person.

Page 19: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

We gain entrance to this field of meaning in action, speech and art through our contact with fellowmen”.

Page 20: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

“The human being needs to work in order

to survive”

Page 21: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

Our existence is an existence through others”

Page 22: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence
Page 23: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

OUR EXISTENCE

IS AN EXISTENCE FOR ONE ANOTHER”

Page 24: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

The insight that togetherness is a value in itself brings home the point that our existence is not just being-through-others but also a being-for-others.

Page 25: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

We exist through others by making use of products that are the fruit of the labors of others. But we also work for others”.

“In

WORK”

Page 26: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

We produce for the other, although this “other” need not be physically visible”.

Page 27: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

indeed works for money,

-for money determines the possibilities of life open to him and his family”

“The person in

CONTEMPORARY TIMES

Page 28: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

strives to go beyond this monetary motive-he strives to be indispensable, to be of significance to others, to be appreciated of his work, to belong to the company”

“The person in

“self-confidence”

When our work is appreciated by others,

We gain ?.......”

Page 30: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

is necessary for us to build our future. But self-confidence is not possible for us to attain without others having confidence in us. And for others to have confidence in us, we have to show them that we are capable of doing something meaningful for them.

“SELF-

CONFIDENCE”

Page 31: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

In fact, our existence is meaningful only

when others accept it also as meaningful”.

Page 32: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

We need our being-needed by others for

ourselves”.

Page 33: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

Modes of being- needed

that…

like the child’s constant drawing of the other’s attention

wants to be fearedReligion

Page 34: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

The authentic being-for-others is being at the service of others that

promotes the existence of the other for his own

sake”.

Page 35: 7. pentecostes, aga c. human existence as an existence

The being-for-others and the being-through-others MERGE”

The most important two words……

“thank you”
