Robert Hannas The Rational Human Condition is a five-volume book
series, including: Volume 1. Preface and General Introduction,
Supplementary Essays, and General Bibliography Volume 2. Deep
Freedom and Real Persons: A Study in Metaphysics Volume 3. Kantian
Ethics and Human Existence: A Study in Moral Philosophy Volume 4.
Kant, Agnosticism, and Anarchism: A Theological-Political Treatise
Volume 5. Cognition, Content, and the A Priori: A Study in the
Philosophy of Mind and Knowledge The fifth volume in the series,
Cognition, Content, and the A Priori, was published by Oxford
University Press in 2015. So, with the present publication of the
first four volumes in the series by Nova Science in 2019, all five
volumes of The Rational Human Condition are now available in
hard-copy and as e-books. All five books share a common aim, which
is to work out a true general theory of human rationality in a
thoroughly nonideal natural and social world. This philosophical
enterprise is what Hanna calls rational anthropology. In the
eleventh and most famous of his Theses on Feuerbach, Marx wrote
that philosophers have only interpreted the world in different
ways; the point is to change it. Hanna completely agrees with Marx
that the ultimate aim of philosophy is to change the world, not
merely interpret it. So, Marx and Hanna are both philosophical
liberationists: that is, they both believe that philosophy should
have radical political implications. But, beyond Marx, Hanna also
thinks that the primary aim of philosophy (understood as rational
anthropology) and its practices of synoptic reflection, writing,
teaching, and public conversation is to change lives for the
betterand ultimately, for the sake of the highest good. Then, and
only then, can the human race act upon the world in the right way.
The four volumes of The Rational Human Condition will therefore
appeal not only to philosophers, but also to any other
philosophically-minded person interested in the intellectual and
practical adventure of synoptic, reflective thinking about the
nature of our rational, but still ineluctably human, all-too-human
lives.
