and transcendence.

COMPARISON AND ABSTRACTION
COMPARISON AND ABSTRACTION
 Self-awareness- refers to the person having a clear
perception of oneself: including his thought, emotions,
identity and actions.
 This awareness goes beyond perception and reactions to
the environment. We have deeper awareness that is driven
by rationality or human thought.
 A person is aware of both his surroundings and himself.
He knows that he is living an experience and is an active
participant in this experience.
 This awareness gives rise to the notion of the “self” which
the philosophers describe as the person who is actively
aware that he is perceiving and experiencing reality.
 Creativity also means that a person can create within
himself what is not yet existing outside. Having an inner
world allows a person to create goals, dreams and plans
which may be realized through activity.
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.
SELF-DETERMINATION
 This refers to 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.
We are persons because we act and we aware of our
actions.
 Our free will enables us to do actions whenever we want to
and make various alternatives. The existence for free will
enables a person to act wilfully, control his actions, and
recognize himself as the source of action.
 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.
 Morality is the goodness or “badness” of an act.
 Human action is such an important aspect of the person that
many philosophers consider human action as a way to reveal
a person’s true nature. Human acts complete the person, as
it is through his actions that his inner self is revealed to
others, and it is through action that a person is able to
explore and fulfil his potential.
TRYING SAYING THESE
I am a person
My actions are my very own
and are made freely.
I know that I am the cause of
my actions.
I know that my actions have
consequences.
EXTERNALITY
 The realization that we are not alone and that
there are indeed other people around as
enables us to reach out and establish
meaningful relationships with others.
 Philosophers consider man as a social being
and that a person never exists in isolation.
Man has the natural tendency to seek out
fellow human beings, and the relationship
established by this interaction is a vital
component for survival.
 Our interactions with others define our
existence as persons. We grow and develop
not only through our thoughts and actions, but
also through the influence of other people in
our lives, and the individuals we meet and
interact with.
TRY SAYING THESE
I am a person
I value others
I interact with others in
meaningful ways.
I value my relationship with
others.
I have grown as a person because
I’ve had meaningful interactions
with people I’ve met in my life.
DIGNITY
 This refers to the innate right to be values
and respected. Philosophers consider all
humans are 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.
 Each person is worth the same as another
person in the sense that every person is
priceless, unique, unrepeatable and
irreplaceable. This is the reason why
separation from the people we love and
value is a difficult and painful experience.
DIGNITY
 Human dignity is rooted in the nature of
the human being, meaning, a person has
dignity simply because of the fact that he is
human.
 Dignity is not defined by outside factors
like intelligence, beauty, skills, etc.
 A person retains his dignity in spite of his
actions of behavior
 Dignity also drives us to seek what is good.
Doing good deeds upholds and promotes
dignity of the human person. This
recognition of dignity is also the basis for
the recognition of human rights.
TRY SAYING THESE
I am a person.
I am a person with dignity.
I recognize that others
have dignity, as well.
I must uphold human
dignity in my thoughts and
actions.
WHAT IS IN OUR HUMAN NATURE THAT ENABLES US TO
BECOME PERSONS?
Aside from the physical
characteristics, another aspect
of the human that defines us as
persons is the spirit. This
intangible element enables us to
exercise thought, possess
awareness, interiority, and the
capacity to reach out to the
outside world and other persons.
HOW ARE THE BODY AND SPIRIT RELATED?
Philosophers consider the human
person as defined by the union of
the body and the spirit.
The human person is an embodied
spirit. The body and the spirit are
not only united, but they are
integrated with each other.
Embodiment enables us to do and
experience all the things that make
us human persons.
EMBODIMENT
 The human body stands as the mediator between the
material world and the spiritual world. Being an
embodied spirit, the person is able to encounter the
world of objects (and other personal objects) in a
manner that transcends the physical.
 Human embodiment allows persons to attach certain
feelings or ideas not only to people but also to objects.
(Pair of shoes as a present from a loved one).
 A pat on the shoulder from your idol, a smile from
your crush, a kiss from your partner will create
intense emotional reaction on you. These examples
show you that it is through embodiment that a person
in able to have a very unique relationship with the
world. And it is this unique relationship that defines
us as humans.
HOW DOES THE HUMAN NATURE ENABLE ME TO EXPLORE MY
LIMITS?
 Human nature still has limits despite an
embodied spirit. It can be said that the
person is very biologically deficient being.
DESPITE THE LIMITATION, WE HAVE USED OUT INTELLECT TO DEVISE MEANS TO ACHIEVE
SEVERAL FEATS.
THE ABILITY TO SURPASS
THE LIMITS IS CALLED
TRANSCENDENCE, AND IT IS
ALSO ONE IMPORTANT
TRAIT THAT DISTINGUISHES
THE HUMAN PERSON FROM
OTHER BEINGS IN
EXISTENCE.
GENERALIZATION
 So, what have you learned
today?
 What is the difference
between limitations and
transcendence?
Discuss on your own words
what person is.
APPLICATION:
The students are tasked to
view a video on limitations
and transcendence.
DIRECTIONS: On a sheet of
paper, make an insight paper
about limitations and
transcendence.
