Eine wichtige Frage: Was ist Mensch und nicht Tier?

Alles was weder der Selbsterhaltung noch der Arterhatlung dient ist, was den Menschen vom Tier unterscheidet. Dazu gehört:

• Komplexe Sprache 
• Humor 
• Künstlerisches tätig sein (kochen, musizieren, malen, tanzen, bildhauen etc.)
• Höhere Selbsterkenntnis (Ich denke, also bin ich)
• Gewisse kognitive Fähigkeiten (Verständnis von komplexer Logik, )
• Gewisse körperliche Reaktionen wie weinen und lachen

Names:
- Hashim Thaçi, UCK's former political head, is now the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Prime Minister of Kosovo
- Agim Çeku
- Ivica dacic
- Adem Jashari, KLA's former military head, after the war became Prime Minister of Kosovo.
- Ramush Haradinaj, a former KLA commander, served briefly as Prime Minister of Kosovo
- Fatmir Limaj, one of the senior commanders of the KLA
- Hajredin Bala, an ex-KLA prison guard


Additional notes:
- German BND men were in charge of selecting recruits for the KLA command structure from the 500,000 Kosovars in Albania
- as early as 1998, the Central Intelligence Agency assisted by the British Special Air Service were arming and training Kosovo Liberation Army members in Albania to foment armed rebellion in Kosovo
- According to Tim Judah, KLA representatives had already met with American, British, and Swiss intelligence agencies in 1996, and possibly "several years earlier"
- Since May 1999, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has prosecuted crimes committed during the Kosovo War. Nine Serbian and Yugoslavian commanders have been indicted so far for crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war in Kosovo in 1999: Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milošević, Serbian President Milan Milutinović, Yugoslavian Deputy Prime Minister Nikola Šainović, Yugoslavian Chief of the General Staff Gen. Dragoljub Ojdanić, Serbian Interior Minister Vlajko Stojiljković, Gen. Nebojša Pavković, Gen. Vladimir Lazarević, Deputy Interior Minister of Serbia Vlastimir Đorđević and Chief of the Interior for Kosovo Sreten Lukić.
- Six KLA commanders were indicted in two cases: Fatmir Limaj, Isak Musliu and Haradin Bala,[102] as well as Ramush Haradinaj, Idriz Balaj and Lahi Brahimaj.

Dear Ken, In your (much appriciated!) work about integral semiotics (http://www.kenwilber.com/writings/read_pdf/117) on page 7 second paragraph, shouldn't it say: "Thus, my dog can see the signifier “dog”, but that word has no meaning for him, no signified for him, and thus he cannot know TO WHICH referent that word actually HINTS." instead of "Thus, my dog can see the signifier “dog,” but that word has no meaning for him, no signified for him, and thus he cannot know what the referent of that word actually is."? Of course the dog knows what a dog is, it knows other dogs, probably better than you and me ;) What he doesn't understand is that the word "dog" references a dog (a referent subgroup which he, in your example, belongs himself to). Or in other words: the dog can actually see the physical worldspace with his physically developped body entailing mammal eyes. So the dog can see the referent (even though the dog has no representation in the part of his brain that holds speech/language) and the signifier but not the signified. But the six-year old cannot see the rational worldspace yet and therefore can see the signifier but not the signified nor the rational worldspace. Or did I misunderstand you somehow?
