Why Does Humanity Live Through the Mind? An Anthropological-Phenomenological Inquiry into Mind, Intellect, Emotion, and Living

A phenomenological and anthropological inquiry into why human beings have come to treat the mind as the primary medium of living. The paper examines the relationship between mind, intellect, emotion, thought, perception, and awareness, arguing that intellect is not an emotionally neutral faculty but an oriented movement within the living mind. It distinguishes between living through the mind and using the mind within living, questioning whether humanity has confused mental representation with existence itself.
