| Achoimre: | Exploring the stipulation of human being’s finite existence is Bernstein’s ontological effort to respond to Cartesian anxiety and seek comfort for human being’s existence. Descartes’ finite man appeals to the infinite God for the stipulation of his finite existence, and he seeks survival comfort by relying on God’s protection; Gadamer’s finite man pulls the stipulation of his finite existence back to man himself, and he seeks survival comfort in the way that his existence belongs to history; Bernstein inherited Gadamer’s understanding of human existence and understood the stipulation of human beings’ finite existence as the practical activity of the historical mediation of universal freedom, thus clarifying the stipulation of human being’s finite existence. |
