Opis

The book explores living space as a fundamental existential condition of human beings in the context of extensive engineering. Space is not understood as a neutral context, but as a biological-cognitive-emotional-social-technical structure where life is maintained, transformed, and expanded. When space is occupied by speed, optimization, data, and predictive models, circadian rhythms are disrupted, perception is shrunk, freedom is reduced to reactions, and the resilience of life declines. From the methodology of realist human philosophy, the book shows that the limit is not the opposite of freedom but the condition for freedom to operate in a sustainable way. Freedom is understood as the ability to fluctuate within the safe range of the body, cognition and society; and resilience is the ability to return to the rhythm of life after errors and uncertainties. On that basis, the work proposes the reconstruction of living space as an existential practice: open, rhythmic, elastic boundaries, respecting human limitations and allowing life to continue becoming. This is not a call to go back to the past, but an attempt to open up a new order of life where people can live deeply and freely.
