Among the element of the human life, Michael Oakeshott distinguished the processes from the practices. Processes are governed by nature: birth, aging, illness, death, earthquakes, rain, gravity. Practices are humans’ decisions and actions: love, friendship, hatred, envy, vengeance, forgiveness.
Gente indipendente by Halldór Laxness is an exception. In Gente indipendente the power of natural processes is predominant, incomparable to the power it has in any other modern novel; and the practices resulting from interaction between humans have a secondary role. |
