On Humanity

This video reflects on the meaning of humanity as a serious philosophical concept rather than a hollow slogan. Sparked by a conversation with a pro–Islamic Republic supporter who could not define the word he frequently used, the text exposes how language is often emptied of meaning to avoid moral responsibility. Drawing on Kant and Aristotle, humanity is defined as moral autonomy, reason, speech, and accountability. A system that silences dialogue, instrumentalises human life, and replaces reason with force cannot claim humanity. The refusal to define humanity is therefore not ignorance, but a conscious evasion of ethical truth!
