Vol 11 No 2 Submitted: May 8, Published: Nov 27, Mercierplein 2, B Leuven, Belgium. The possibilities of creativity in human life depend on discovering the meaning of life. The secret of human existence is all about intimate personal encounters.
The other than myself, which is also deeply present inside myself, is not the impersonal thing that it is oftentimes made out to be. We only refer to the results in the first paragraph. In this article, we read the biblical narrative on Adam and Eve as a text that is structured by the same economy β the intertwinedness of the I-Thou relation with the I-It relation. But in opposition to the Kafka narrative, the crisis is overcome and results in a new creative perspective on the human condition: the discovery of the ultimate intersubjective meaning of life.
The meaning makes love and labour possible. It means that the creativity of becoming human is the result of interaction. The context of our research is a long project on developing a philosophical reading of Biblical texts that was developed at the KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. In this way, we introduce a non-confessional way of understanding religious texts on the creativity of becoming human. Kafkos apvertimas. How to Cite Anckaert, L.
