    HUMAN COMPOSITION OF MAN

    MAN (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) The English term “man” is derived from a Proto-Indo European root *man
    - (see Sanskrit/Avestan Manu-, Slavic mǫž "man, male"). It is the general term commonly used to refer to the entire
    human race. Other related terms, humanity, mankind, and humankind.

    HUMAN NATURE defines as the nature of humans especially the fundamental characters and traits of humans. It refers
    to the characteristics that distinguish humans from all other creatures. These traits are expected to arise independent of the
    influence of culture and society. EXAMPLES: THINKING, FEELING AND ACTING. refers to man as species – HOMO
    SAPIENS or MODERN HUMAN BEINGS. The term human being is also used to differentiate man from other animals.

    PERSON is the personality of a human being so called “SELF”. Refers to a human being granted recognition of certain
    rights, protection, responsibilities and dignity above all. Philosopher refers to the human person as the totality of an
    individual, possessing awareness, self-determination and capacity to interact with others and with himself/herself.
    Personhood refers to the state of being a person.

    Self-awareness refers to the person having a clear perception of oneself, including his thoughts, emotions, identity and
    actions.

    Try saying these!


    ● I am a person.
    ● I am alive.
    ● I exist.
    ● I am here. I am present.
    ● I am living at this very moment.

    Let’s examine
    Little Jose is playing in the living room while his mom is in the kitchen. He accidentally bumps into a table,
    causing a vase to fall. Upon hearing, his mom went to the living room and saw him, standing near the broken vase. She
    asked, “Did you break the vase?” What do you think Jose‘s answer will be?

    Self-determination refers to the capability of persons to make choices and decisions based on their own preferences,
    monitor and regulate their actions, and be goal-oriental and self-directed.

    Consequence is the result or effect of an action or condition. Philosophers believe that a person acts freely and with due
    regard for the consequences of his actions.

    Externality refers to the capability of a person to reach out and interact with others and the world.

    Dignity refers to the innate right to be valued and respected. Philosophers consider all humans as having an inherent
    worth or value. “You’re worthless!” is an insult since it attacks the very notion of a person having value or worth.

    Limitations of the Human Person


    Human persons are naturally deficient beings. This means that we are not prepared with the best physical aspects
    among all the beings.

    Human persons do not have the natural ability to fly.


    The Body as Intermediary

    Intermediary means acting as a mediator (Merriam-Webster). Having a body may prevent us from revealing what
    we really want to express.

    How do we communicate with each other? WORDS

    But can words really capture the things we want to express? But this limitation can also be an advantage...

    In most cases, words are not enough. EXAMPLE: Magbabago Na Ako Promise!!!

    Let us find out the answers in this lesson!

    The previous example talks about transcendence or a state of “existence above and beyond the limits of material
    experience.”

    Transcendence originated from the words Trans, meaning “go beyond”, and scandare, meaning “climb”.
    In the example, fulfilling a dream requires transcendence because it opens a state of thinking and feeling that there is
    something more in life than just physical and material things. Much like Abraham Maslow’s self-actualization concepts,
    transcendence is a state of being intrinsically satisfied with life regardless of physical and tangible factors.

    ● LIMITATIONS AND POSSIBILITIES FOR TRANSCENDENCE


    Here are some limitations and possibilities for transcendence:
    - may not occur to everyone
    - does not come at a specified period
    - varies across all people
    - may coincide with physical limitations of the body
    - developing a positive outlook in life
    - working towards reaching a goal
    - learning from experience

    ● POSSIBILITIES FOR TRANSCENDENCE


    It is also important to know that transcendence may be applied to present worries by living in the present. This
    means that life is lived from moment to moment in a carefree and cheerful manner where concerns for stress are reserved
    for the future, and regrets or guilt feelings are kept in the past.

    ● THE HUMAN BODY IN IMPOSING LIMITS AND POSSIBILITIES


    From a biological and physical standpoint, it can be recognized that the human body, although it can perform
    many functions, also has limitations. Limits in the environment, demographics, and society may also hinder a person from
    reaching transcendence.

    Here are some examples:


    BODILY LIMITATIONS
    - mental and emotional disorders (e.g. anxiety, intellectual disability)
    - disabilities (e.g. amputated leg, deafness)
    - disease and illnesses (e.g. hypertension, cough)
    - failures and experiences (e.g. failing a subject)

    SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS


    - socioeconomic status
    - location of neighborhood (e.g. armed, disorganized, or violent neighborhood)
    - abusive relationships (e.g. emotional abuse) negative influences (e.g.

    ● OVERCOMING LIMITATIONS

    Bodily limits can be tested by trying on new experiences and working on challenges with increasing levels of
    difficulty. The human body, if given enough exposure to any situation, can attain a goal with efficiency. Social and
    environmental limitations are more difficult to overcome than bodily limitations because they involve the influence of
    other people and the external world. However, with a proper mindset, clearly defined goals, and motivation to rise above
    challenges, one may successfully overcome his or her limitations.
    ● RECOGNIZE AND EVALUATE OWN LIMITATIONS AND POSSIBILITIES FOR TRANSCENDENCE

    Even though you are still young, you are not prevented from further understanding yourself. Transcendence is
    even more possible when you begin to understand that you can go beyond your limitations if you set your mind on your
    goals.

    SOME POINT TO REMEMBER WHEN GOING BEYOND YOUR LIMITS

    - you are connected to the external or eternal world


    - challenges are learning opportunities
    - your goal is more important than your fears
    - think outside the box - recognize that everyone has fears

    TIPS
    The terms “transcendent” and transcendental” should not be used interchangeably. According to Immanuel Kant,
    “transcendent” is a term used to refer to God, while “transcendental” refers to all other matter.
    While transcendence may not occur for everyone, all people have the capacity to experience it regardless of any
    sociodemographic, biological, or personal factors.
