• Plato believed that love is the motivation that leads one to try to know and
contemplate beauty in itself. This happens through a gradual process that begins with an
appreciation of the appearance of physical beauty and then moves on to an appreciation of
spiritual beauty.
• How God defines love :1 Corinthians 13:4–8a (ESV) Love is patient and kind; love does
not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not
irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

consulate. The fairness to each person includes all races and mix of races, gender,
ethnic cultures andtraditions and, in general, the ability to be respected and protected
by the law and those who are there to enforce and protect the individuals and their
rights.

11. Man in relation to others and God
• Man is created and sustained by God. Gen. 1:27, Acts 17:25,28. Man is a
person and is therefore capable of making moral choices. Man is made in the
image of God.
• Mankind has the responsibility, as God's charge on earth, to assist creation to
fulfill God's command. Mankind is to rule, as a steward, so that the creations
of the world (including animals, plants and resources) are fruitful and
multiply.

12. Man to Others
• The first and great Commandment is: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, love your neighbor as yourself" (Luke
10:27).
• Relationship of man and nature :Man determines the pace that nature will take to evolve. As such, nature
and man are inseparable. Man depends on nature for all resources he requires in life. He, therefore, should
remain in-tune with nature since he is an integral part of it
• human-to-nature relationship. Humans use nature, as other animals do, to obtain food, protect themselves
and acquire a habitat, but through their work humans also transform nature for many different purposes.
• Relation of man into his society: Man is biologically and psychologically equipped to live in groups, in
society. Society has become an essential condition for human life to arise and to continue. The relationship
between individual and society is ultimately one of the profound of all the problems of social philosophy.
