I don't even mean to be offensive in asking that.
>You think celebrating a person's >life is wrong and that it deprives people of their >humaneness...
Wrong. I just said there's no need to celebrate a person's life. Furthermore, I stated that it's the metamorphosis of people into symbols which deprives them of their humanenes (see Jesus Christ).
>I really wish to know what interesting >definition it is that you have of "life" and "celebration", >this definition that somehow makes "one of our greatest lives" >an inhumane description (!!!).
First, it's an apotheosis - Malcolm the Übermensch. Second, your use of the possessive pronoun is tantamount to epistemic power. You cannot claim him or his life for "us".
