    Human Person As An Embodied Spirit

    Uploaded by

    Karlos Cacho
    The document discusses three views on what essentially makes up a human person: the unspirited body view, disembodied spirit view, and embodied spirit view. The embodied spirit view is preferred as it sees the human person as a unity of body and spirit. This view maintains human freedom, gives importance to the soul, and can accommodate opposing views that see the person as solely physical or spiritual. The embodied spirit view is supported by Aristotle and Aquinas and sees the soul as an essential component that gives life.

    JAMES IVAN COLE V.

    ATIENZA
    THERE ARE TWO GENERAL KINDS A
    HUMAN PERSON CAN BE CONSIDERED
    • Metaphysical- Essential components of a
    human person. The what of a person.
    • Existential- Essential feature of the human
    way of life. The who of a person.
    FACT
    • The human person has a body and Three non-
    bodily human components: Soul, Mind, and
    Spirit
    • Soul- Life giving function
    • Mind- Consciousness
    • Spirit- Non physical nature
    WHAT ESSENTIALLY MAKES UP A
    HUMAN PERSON?

    • There are three possible answer:


    1. Unspirited body view
    2. Disembodied spirit view
    3. Embodied spirit view
    UNSPIRITED BODY VIEW
    • A human person is essentially just his or her
    body and nothing more. No spirit just body.
    • Supporters call “Mental state” as physical
    states.
    • Views: Mind-Brain Identity Theory- Mind is
    nothing but the brain. Mental states are
    neutral states. Behaviorism- The way we act is
    a product of our thinking.
    DISEMBODIED SPIRIT VIEW
    • A human person is essentially just his or her
    spirit. Body is a nonessential component of
    human person. Body will die without the
    spirit.
    • Supporters: Plato and Rene Descartes. They
    believed in substance dualism: Spirit is
    independent of body
    EMBODIED SPIRIT VIEW
    • Unity of his or her body and spirit. Human
    person has both claims to be the unity of body
    and spirit. Nothing without the other.
    • Supporters: Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas
    • Aristotle also emphasizes that the soul is a
    essential component of a human person-
    “Soul is a system of capacities that give life to
    something.”
    ARISTOTLE
    • Plants, Animals and Human Person have souls.
    • Plants (Vegetative)
    • Animals (Sensitive)
    • Human Person (Rational)
    THREE REASONS WHY EMBODIED
    SPIRIT IS PREFERRED
    • Maintains human freedom
    • Gives importance to the soul
    • Accommodate opposing views
