In The Human Condition, Tony explores concepts in human nature like competition, loyalty, trust, and much more. Delving deeply into the many facets of humanity by drawing on examples from history, life and art, it is a comprehensive interpretation of what it is to be human. With 27 chapters covering a range of concepts like happiness, laughter, hope, exploration, science, authority, and others. Similar to Complete Essays by Michel de Montaigne, Tony Grey extensively draws on all aspects of life to analyse the many drives that impel human beings collectively, across culture and time. The Human Condition also features accompanying poems by the author for some topics of interest.
