      Product Description

      Epimetheus has largely been forgotten, and yet he was once credited with bringing humans into the world naked, unshod, without bed, and unarmed. Rather than view this condition as one of deficiency to be covered over through some kind of technical artifice, "Commemorating Epimetheus" describes the human condition positively in terms of its state of origin. In other words, Amis seeks to articulate the goodness of fragility.The goodness of our fragility is approached phenomenologically and described in terms of sharing, caring, meeting, dwelling, and loving. These ways of existing with one another are not merely accidental characteristics of human beings, or accidental characteristics of our relations with one another, but are inherently human. That is, we come into the world dependent on the care of others, we come to share in humanness through their care, and their care enables us to meet others, dwell with others, and, perhaps, love others. "Commemorating Epimetheus" investigates being human in terms of our relationships with one another.
