# Chapter III: Teaching the human condition Humans are physical, biological, psychological, cultural, social, historical beings. This complex unity of human nature has been so thoroughly disintegrated by education divided into disciplines, that we can no longer learn what human being means. This awareness should be restored so that every person, wherever he might be, can become aware of both his complex identity and his shared identity with all other human beings.
The human condition should be an essential subject of all education.
-- That we do not do what is best either for ourself or for all others.
This chapter should show us how we can go from current disciplines to a recognition of human unity and complexity.
By assembling and organizing knowledge dispersed in the natural sciences, social sciences, literature, and philosophy, we will try to show without any doubt the indissoluble connection between the unity and the diversity of all that is human.
