 HUMAN PERSON IN THE ENVIRONMENT

This essay is important for the students to understand the dynamic interplay between the human

person and her environment. Environment philosophy is the discipline that studies the moral
relationship of human beings with the environment and its non-human contents. Philosophers believe
that the human person has the ability to change the environment to suit his purposes. These
developments prove how far we have gone through in improving and developing our life as human

persons. Yet along these developments are the different environmental issues that pose a threat to
our lives as human persons. It is then important that we have to be aware of these environmental risks,
their causes and their harmful effects to us so that we will be able to address these issues properly.
Let me now briefly discuss the common environmental problems that have seriously impacted our

lives as human beings. Here, I will specifically show that these environmental issues stemmed from
our careless decisions and actions towards our environment. Is a living being that contains a real and
existing power to direct its own development toward fulfillment through perfect, unconditional, and
infinite Truth, Love, Goodness, Beauty, and Unity, and will do so if all the proper conditions are met.
The environment of human beings as living things is no more than a more or less shrunk piece of
nature. We, human beings, however. In generation our environment now is in a state of technology
which make our lives easier but affects our living environment. We should not let our nature destroyed
because without it, we cant live in the first place so we have to be wise and discipline enough to protect
our mother Earth from dying. Our work represent the condition of our planet Earth, we need to protect
the environment from the wrong action of human being. Because we are only valued the modern Earth,
the artificial nature, and we forgot our real environment, development in our economy and
modernization but we’re sacrificing our environment, and make an action to save our natural
environment before it’s too late.
 THE HUMAN PERSON AS EMBODIED SPIRIT

The Human Person As An Embodied Spirit ( Recognize Own Limitations and Possibilities) Man is

not only body, but he is something,

To be free it is a human task to gradually recollect the ideas the soul used to
know through education
in order for it to be released from being imprisonedin our body and be able to return to it
s
place in the world of forms, for thesoul is superior and exists eternally even after the bod
y
evanesces gradually.However, failure to recall everything the soul used to know, the soul has town
dergo another imprisonment and this process will continually occur until the
soul is ready
to go back to its place in the world of forms.
To emphasize the spiritual nature of the human person, Clarke preferred to describe the human person

more as an “embodied spirit” Many people perceive themselves as having "spiritual" experiences
while in a human body/mind. For me, the opposite is the case: I am embodied spirit having the
human body/mind experience. The essence of who I am will never be "in" a body/mind
anywhere. In order to interface with this reality, I am obliged to assume the robes of human
experience, which is always imperfect and subject to suffering. The point of view of embodied
spirit does not make me special. However, it does give me an insight, and a clarity, from which
I can proceed in the encounter with embodied experience. It frees me from a misunderstanding
which has fueled countless religious illusions of man over the centuries. That person is the
embodiment of kindness.” ... connection, and the body unites the human and divine together. A human
person is an embodied spirit, whose nature has numerous bodily, affective, cognitive volitional and
gender capacities, the expression of which one’s nature against one’s nature and finding their
relational telos in the love of neighbor and union with God, relationships made possibly by our nature
but realized only by the ministry of the indwelling spirit of God. Human person refers to the individual,
and all the attributes and characteristics that set him or her apart from other human beings.
 HUMAN PERSON AND FREEDOM

The human freedom, at least in today's society, is often an abstract, ... the dignity of the person to be
implemented, a widespread understanding of true freedom freedom and the human person have
been at the center of philosophical, theological, moral, and political debates since the origins
of this tradition. The terms "freedom" and "person" carry such overwhelming force in the
modern world that the critical distance required for grasping what is at stake in using them is
extremely hard to gain. Freedom is the reason that human beings do not have an essence.
“Human freedom precedes essence in man and makes it possible; the essence of the human
being is suspended in freedom” (BN: 60). ... No matter what the situation is, a human being can
always choose to act and his action will define his being. We believe that we are acting out of our own
free well, that we have freedom. A philosophical point that challenges this belief, if God know
everything that will happen, then I do not have freedom of decision to perform an action. This is
because I would be forced to do the action. I would be forced to do it because God’s knowledge is
perfect. God’s knowledge would not be perfect if it is not true that will be performing the action. As we
can see freedom is very much about interpretation. For me, personal freedom is really about being
emotionally and intellectually free. Free from limiting fears, free from guilt, free from other peoples.
The feeling of not being constrained in imagination, feelings, hope, ambition, lifestyle and
conversation.
 HUMAN PERSON OF SOCIETY

Human being and society, the universal 'Ideal'. We could start looking around us and understand the
goal of our nature. In society, he develops his potential in mutual exchange and service of others. If
the person is in the society is a truth beyond question, the position of the person within the processes
of the society, The sociological view of the person aims to show that the notion of the person’s
historical situatedness is taken and pushed to its limit and thereby completing its initial impetus in
philosophy. HUMAN SOCIETY. As a species, we are social beings who live out our lives in the
company of other humans. We organize ourselves into various kinds of social groupings, such as
nomadic bands, villages, cities, and countries, in which we work, trade, play, reproduce, and interact
in many other ways. A ideal human person in society is someone who tries their best to maintain a
positive mental outlook for the better of all and who limits the suffering of others while making the world
a better place however they se fit according to their heart. Who’s decisions have the opposite of
diminishing returns the human person in all society should put the creator of all first seeking direction
to make the world a better place and if they happen to make a mistake in doing so then have they
cognitive ability to apply it to their life and other’s lives how they see fit through their experience to
ensure the outcomes for the prosper and betterment of humanity and all of life’s here and in the Future
generations to come.
