Synopsis

In On Being Human, Amardo Rodriguez begins on the premise that the limits of human potentiality reside in our capacity to create meaning. He contends that our capacity to create meaning is infinite and also bound up with what we are capable of being and becoming. In this way, Rodriguez views liberation in terms of meaning creation and oppression in terms of meaning suppression. He is specifically interested in understanding how we can fundamentally enlarge our ways of being to promote meaning and possibility.
