Human Dignity Phenomenological Aspects of a Person A. Self Determination y Man determines himself and not any other person. y Man charts his own destiny. y A person increases his individuality through self-determination. y The choices man makes on his own mold him as an individual. y Self-determination is only possible if man is not determined at the beginning. y The greater the indetermination, the greater the capacity to determine oneself, and the stronger will be the resulting individuality. B. Freedom y Man is free because he is the master of his own actions. y Self-determination is an immediate consequence of freedom. y Man is the master of his inner life and manifestation. y He is the master of his life and his destiny; he chooses both. C. Intimacy y Intimacy is to have an interior world open to oneself and hidden from the other. y It is to have something within that only one knows. y It is personal. y No one knows my thoughts unless I express them. y What a person thinks and will is immanent to him. y Intimacy is the greatest manifestation of immanence. y There is a natural sentiment that protects it: shame or modesty. y Shame or modesty gives rise to the concept of privacy, wherein others are not welcome. y The most important characteristic of intimacy: it is not static but something alive. y Intimacy has a creative capacity. y It is capable of growing. y No interior world is the same with another. y Each one is something unrepeatable, incommunicable. y Nobody can be who I am. y The person is an absolute in the sense that he is unique and cannot be reduced to anything.
