    Uploaded by

    Man as Body-Soul Composite

    -according to Aristotle and Aquinas, a body is needed for a soul to be a complete substance. In
    their view both soul and the body is needed in order for both to function. They said that it is beneficial
    for soul that it is united to the body, because without the body the cannnot perform all of its vital
    capabilities. All those capabilities is only possible with both soul and body together. According to
    Aquinas, a person cannot be his soul or mind alone. A man cannot a mind without the body because the
    body is the responsible for the senses of a person. All those experiences of a person present a conclusion
    that a man is composed of a body and soul.

    Man as a Person

    - a person is a concrete individual substance, which is bestowed with reason and lived
    independently from others. A person has the ability to know and love in an intelllectual way. They are
    also able to decide for theirselves the meaning or end of their actions. A person also has the
    characteristics of beig moral, concious, and self-concious.

    Man as Socius and Interhuman

    - man as a socius being has a bond and interconnected to each other. In an interhuman
    relationship two parties are invlovled, and through dialouge they are able to influence directly the bond
    between them. The interhuman relationship of a person helps them affirm each other, becoming a
    person with the other. Humans has been acquinted with each other to different degrees. A person
    makes distance dependent to the degree of relationship which makes a person independent that allows
    the individual enter into a relation, as an individual self, with those who are similar to them.

    Man as Being in this World

    - The term "Being-in-the-world" is Martin Heidegger's substitute for terms such as conciousness,
    subject, object, and world. He said that all of the conciousness is consciousness of a being or object.
    According to Steiner, what Heidegger trying to present is that the belief of extential identity and that of
    world are completely conubial. Being in this world, in theories, is a certain type of being characteristics
    of humans, in difference to the kind of being nonhuman animals, inanimate objects, or abstractions.

    Man as embodied Subjectivity

    - Maurice Merleau-Ponty sees the physical body as a significant part of what makes the
    subjective self. In the definition of body, it refers to the conciousness which includes someone's sexuality.
    The physical body is just one of the parts that makes self. The mind and the body are interconnected.
    This definition of man rejects the dualistic forms of man in their definition as a "rational animal" and as a
    "composite of body and soul". There are also phenomenologists who also believed to the definition of
    man as embodied subjectivity. They believed that man, in the first place, is a subjectivity, an
    incomparable core, root, depth, and meaning. Subjectivity is not only limited to being rational but
    includes the affective which is being emotional too.

    Man as a Rational Animal

    - According to Aristotle, man is a rational animal. This trait is what helps us survive and develop
    new things that can preserve life. Rationality is the difference between man and all other animals. It is
    said that being rational is what makes man different or unique from all other animals. A rational being is
    someone who has the ability of logical thinking, reasoning towards sound conclusion based on facts and
    legitimate evidences, and make sound judgements base on facts and other information available to him.
