Embodied Spirit
Philosophers consider the human
person as defined by the union of the
body and the spirit.
Body (purely physical being) =
Spirit (mind, will and emotions) =
Embodied Spirit.
Metaphysical Approach
It answers the “What” of a
person, what is made up of a
person or the characteristic
or capabilities of a person
Three Types of Views
Metaphysics Approach
Unspirited body view
Disembodied spirit view
Embodied spirit
Unspirited Body View
A human person is just his/her
body and nothing more; the
way we think. Or feel are based
on biological process; we act
according to the patterns of
behavior
Disembodied Spirit View
View man as composed of body
and soul; the body and soul are
separate from each other
The body depends on soul while
the sol is immortal (substance
dualism)
According to Plato- the nature of the human
person is seen as the metaphysical dichotomy
between the body and the soul.
Dichotomy- means there is a contradiction
between the body and the soul.
* Body- material- destructible
*Soul – immaterial – indestructible
the body’s existence is dependent on the soul
while the soul’s existence is independent of the
body.
Plato believes in three part of the soul
Rational soul- located in
the head
Spiritual soul – chest
Appetitive soul- abdomen
APPETITIVE / DESIRE SOUL
Desires bodily pleasure
drives the person to
experience thirst, hunger
and other physical
wants.
SPIRITUAL SOUL
In –charge of motivation
of the human person to
action, drives the human
person to emotions
RATIONAL SOUL
The seat of the mind and
worsen intellect, it enables
one to think, reflect,
comprehend and the like
Example:
The thirsty Man
A thirsty man is wandering though the desert and sees a
proof of water.
As he comes closer, he sees a sign that states that the water
is poisonous
Upon viewing the sign, the man enters a state of conflict
within his soul.
Desires says to drink but reason says not to.
Reason says that partaking of the water will worsen his
situation and so he employs spirit to overcome his desire
EMBODIED SPIRIT
Inseparable union of body
and soul
According to Aristotle: body
and soul is in a state of unity,
they are inseparable
Aristotle believes:
Soul–aGreekwordforpsycheor
concept/principleoflife
Principleoflife:thesoulcausesthe
bodytolive;hebelievesthatthesoul
isintheformofbody,whilethebody
is themattertothesoul.
Three levels of soul according to
Aristotle:
Vegetative soul- grow, reproduce and
feed itself
sensitive soul- grow, reproduce and feed
itself and capable of sensation
Rational soul- grow, reproduce, feed
themselves, capable of sensation and
capable of thinking.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Man is one substance body and soul
Man is substantial unity of body and
soul
Man is an embodied soul/ spirit, not a
soul using a body as Plato asserted.
