About this book
Summary
The human story, etched across millennia and continents, is fundamentally a narrative of seeking. Beyond the primal imperatives of survival—the need for sustenance, shelter, and procreation—lies a deeper, more elusive quest: the search for meaning. This innate drive, a distinctive hallmark of our species, propels us to ask "why?" not merely about the immediate circumstances of our lives, but about existence itself. It is this primordial yearning that forms the bedrock of human civilization, shaping our myths, our societies, and our deepest philosophical inquiries. To understand the human condition is, therefore, to first acknowledge this pervasive and persistent search for purpose and significance, a quest that has echoed through every epoch and across every cultural landscape.Book information
