Tragic Sense of Life

Tragic Sense of Life is a philosophy classic by Miguel de Unamuno. Neither "the human" nor "humanity," neither the simple adjective nor the substantivized adjective, but the concrete substantive--man. The man of flesh and bone; the man who is born, suffers, and dies--above all, who dies; the man who eats and drinks and plays and sleeps and thinks and wills; the man who is seen and heard; the brother, the real brother.
