In a sentence this book seeks to explore the condition of humanity in this world which has been so well made that all trace of the making has been quite effaced. 25 2 FINDING Hannah Arendt places a very great emphasis upon the argument that the human condition is importantly constituted in the human ability to make things. For her, humanity is a constituency which expresses its humanity as a quality in so far as it is able to build its own objective world. The fabrication of objects is at once the expression of human being (it is the product of the conditions of labour and work) and the means by which human being can be constructed and identified as distinctive in the otherwise all too similar mêlée of material and organic things.
Values and understandings which have any degree of abstraction or generality about them hold no appeal for animal laborans. When considering Arendt’s invocation of the figure of animal laborans it is extremely tempting to recall and rephrase Marx’s dictum in the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts that within capitalist relationships of production, man ‘only feels himself freely active in his animal functions…and in his human functions he no longer feels himself to be anything but an animal. What is animal becomes human and what is human becomes animal’ (Marx 1977:66).
Just like me, the things I use live and die: ‘It is as though we had forced open the distinguishing boundaries which protected the world, the human artifice, from nature, the biological process which goes on in its very midst’ (Arendt 1958:110). The implication of this transformation of objective things into entities which follow an almost material life is that: ‘The ideals of homo faber, the fabricator of the world…have been sacrificed to abundance, the ideal of the animal laborans’ (Arendt 1958:110).
