THE GLOBAL INTELLECTUAL AND SELF WORTH: A CRITERION FOR THE CULTURAL SCIENCES

Summary/Abstract: On the occasion of scholar and teacher, Algis Mickunas’ 80th birthday, I wish to recognize his particular essay, “Th e Global Intellectual and Self Worth,” by expanding on his insights. I have chosen to expand this article by selecting another teacher and his student, Confucius and Yan Hui. The examined situation of the grief suffered by Confucius upon the death of Yan Hui provides context to the meaning of life as self-worth and life worth living.
