19. WHAT IS HUMAN PERSON AS EMBODIED SPIRIT?
1. “Self- awareness refers to
person having a clear
perception of oneself, including
his or her thoughts, emotions,
identity, and actions (Abella,
2016).” It is the ability of one’s
consciousness to look inward
thus discovering the presence
of a self.
2. A human person can connect
and interact with another
person, an animal or an
inanimate object. We call this
externality. So even though
human beings have interiority
they are not trapped inside their
heads. They can go beyond their
limited selves and embrace
others.
7/1/20XX 19

20. WHAT IS HUMAN PERSON AS EMBODIED SPIRIT?
3. We are not determined by
others. Because we have
interiority; we can direct the
course of our own life. This is
what we call self-determination
which is “the capability of
persons to make choices and
decisions based on their own
preferences, monitor and
regulate their actions, and be
goal oriented and self-directed”
(Abella 2016) Thus human
beings are free.
4. Finally a human person has
an inherent value and
importance. This is what we call
dignity. That is why no amount
of money can equal the value of
a human life. This is also the
reason why individual rights are
absolute (Rand 1964).

and distancing God.

28. CHRISTIANITY
7/1/20XX Pitch deck title 28
For Augustine (354-430 CE), philosophy is amor sapiential, the love
of wisdom; its aim is to produce happiness. Wisdom is not just an
abstract logical construction; but it is substantially existent as the
Divine Logos. Hence, Philosophy is the love of God; it is then
religious.
Teachings of Christianity are based on love of God. For Augustine's
Christianity, the revelation of the true God is the only full and true
philosophy. All Knowledge leads to God, so that faith supplements and
enlightens reason that it may proceed to ever richer and fuller
understanding.

29. CHRISTIANITY

creatures, human beings have the unique power to change

Consider humans as moral agents, the spiritual and material
and that choosing between 'good' and 'evil' is our
responsibility.
