Philosophy of the Human Person

Philosophy as a discipline is the ultimate determinant of a person, race, as well as history. Human beings now understand their surrounding due to philosophy. It is evident that human beings are completely different from other creatures hence unique. In addition, human beings have the power to control most of the occurrences as well as other beings in the universe.

Seemingly, the analogical notion is because of philosophy. For instance, both matter and angels have life. In real sense, God is the creator of both matter and the angels buy. Clearly, matter is a composition of material things whereas angels are form without matter. Additionally, matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.The uniting factor in matter and they angels is that both of them were created by God and that all of them have a sense of each other in their existence.

Consequently, only God is distinct in determining the essences and existence of everything under His creation. God's distinct characteristic makes Him incomparable to no one. God has powers over everyone and everything in the universe. Additionally, God is the only one who barely has an identical as His powers are above everyone else's powers. However, human beings are a form of analogy.

In like manner, different people react to various situations differently. For example, when a pen is given to different individuals, all of them will have their views of the pen. The first person may say it is a house meant for pigs. The other will say that it is a tool used to enhance manual writing. All these arguments are because human beings are analogical. The next individual might conclude that a pen is an object thus can be used as a toy.

Moreover, the human soul is the factor responsible for the sensitive nature of human beings. The human soul is made up of different species that give human beings various characteristics. More importantly, it gives the body the characteristic of being formal. This includes being living or having a sensitive body among others.

Unlike the woods in trees as well as muscles in animals, the human body consists of only the soul and matter. Research has it the human soul has the capability of surviving even after death. Therefore, the human soul in the body determines whether it is made by various species hence making the soul composite. The formal nature of the human body determines whether something in existences is a reality or not.

Further, the soul gives the human body a variety of species. Therefore, it can be said that the human body is made up of various materials thus giving the soul the composite characteristic. The formal nature of the human beings seeks to identify the characteristics of objects that exist in reality. It describes the different characteristics of the materials that consist of the human body as well as soul.

Nevertheless, research has it that living things have matter. Just like other living organisms, human beings have matter too. In the events of human deaths, matter in their bodies becomes tangible. A matter of concern is that philosophy barely explains where the matter and form of dead human beings goes. Also, a clearly explanation of where the soul departs to is barely explained thus causing a dilemma.
