Anwar Frangi's 380-degree Departure from Western and Eastern Thought: The Human Act Precedes the Human Being, Even Though It Comes from the Human Being

There are many philosophers in history who valued human activity. Aristotle defined human flourishing through activity (energeia), Karl Marx emphasized labor and productive activity, Johann Gottlieb Fichte grounded the self in activity, Hannah Arendt analyzed labor, work, and action as fundamental political categories. But there is no philosopher in history who has explicitly affirmed the ontological "preeminence of the human act over the human being, even though it comes from the human being.” What makes Frangi’s axiom radical is the ontological reversal: act does not merely express being; act constitutes being itself.

Abstract

There are many philosophers in history who valued human activity. Aristotle defined human flourishing through activity (energeia), Karl Marx emphasized labor and productive activity, Johann Gottlieb Fichte grounded the self in activity, Hannah Arendt analyzed labor, work, and action as fundamental political categories. But there is no philosopher in history who has explicitly affirmed the ontological "preeminence of the human act over the human being, even though it comes from the human being.” What makes Frangi’s axiom radical is the ontological reversal: act does not merely express being; act constitutes being itself.
