THE DIFFERENT

PHILOSOPHIES-VIEWS
ABOUT

MAN

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

MAN is a complex being


above all other created beings

I cannot live locked up inside myself.


I must be open to the world and those
around me.
I must be meditative so that other people
and the forces found in the universe
can flow through me so that I can overcome
all illusion about myself and the
world and thus
discover an ultimate reality

ORIENTAL VIEW
OF MAN
Some Buddhists try to live a life of
gentle submissiveness to the
cosmic powers flowing in the universe,
powers which they try
to let control their destiny.

Im here for one purpose:


to get as much gusto out of life as I can.
Pain and suffering are evils
that must be avoided at all costs.
The main thing in life is to always feel
good.

PHILOSOPHY 2

PHILOSOPHY

HEDONISM
Corresponds to the playboy theory of life,
where pleasure, especially of the
physical, sensual type is almost
made into god.

My purpose in life is work


for the glorification of the group.
The individual has no worth as such.
Im like a cog in a big machine as I submit
my efforts to the largest efforts of the
state.

PHILOSOPHY 3

PHILOSOPHY

COMMUNISTIC VIEW OF MAN
Individual has worth only to the degree
that he helps the interest of the state.

I must do whatever I can do


to increase my own freedom.
Freedom means doing what I want to do.
Hell is other people.
What is good is that which furthers my
interests.

PHILOSOPHY 4

PHILOSOPHY

ATHEISTIC EXISTENTIALISM
Depicts an extremely individualistic
way of looking at man,
each person is radically
separated from the all others.

In the light of death,


life has no real meaning.
It is a joke, the tale of an idiot signifying
nothing.

PHILOSOPHY 5

PHILOSOPHY

NIHILISTIC VIEW OF MAN
This view maintains that man and his life
have no ultimate meaning.

Life begins with satisfying the bodily


needs toward becoming
self-actualized persons.
All of mans needs
are in a pyramid form

MASLOWS
THEORY OF SELF

I have worth. I must strive to live


a life of loving service for my fellow men,
all of whom in the last analysis
are my brothers and sisters.
Life has a final meaning which resides
outside of me, that is, in God,
and in my relationship to Jesus Christ.
