Contemporary views of man in psychology are in flux. The American tradition of experimental materialism is being modified by serious attention to personality theory. The existential movement in Europe is beginning to have a serious influence on both theory and therapy. The development of psychosomatic medicine is part of a vital reconsideration of the problems of mind-body. And within the psychotherapeutic disciplines, serious attention is being given to the role of patient-therapist values and the therapeutic concept of man. The relevance of spiritual concepts is being given serious consideration, and potential modifications of theology and psychology are being entertained by both disciplines. Hopefully, out of this interchange will develop more adequate concepts of man and God.

Christian View
ReplyDeleteNature of Man is on the unity of body, soul, and spirit each being part of an invisible organism. Man is composed partly of matter (body) and partly of non- material soul and spirit. It is based on the belief of the immorality of the soul and the second on the belief of the resurrection of the body.
After first sin committed by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, part of the curse of God was that all mankind became cursed with a nature bent towards evil. Because of this sinful nature, it taught that, then, is not attainable without a miracle of God's grace, which is supernatural changes which actually changes the nature of man from evil to good. In this way, it is taught, that men are saved by this involuntary generation.

Classical View
ReplyDelete-Human nature refers to the distinguishing characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling and acting, that humans tend to have naturally, independently of the influence of culture. The questions of what these characteristics are, what causes them, and how fixed human nature is, are amongst the oldest and most important questions in western philosophy.
_Pit Gerald Magno :)
Existentialists get a bad rap due to the fact that some retards treat it as if it's a philosophy of despair. However, it's quite the contrary. While the philosophy does state that life has no meaning, the notion is not intended to make the individual powerless, but rather empowered to live life with a sense of exuberance and accomplishment in order to give meaning to his/her existence.

The study of the human will began with the study of creation and human behavior. The classic view of the human will holds that human behavior is uniquely different from the rest of the animal kingdom. This difference arises because of the distinctive nature of the human mind. Of all the animals, only human beings are rational creatures endowed with intellect and free will. The human intellect is to know the truth and to distinguish the true from the false. The human will is the power of choice, and it ought to choose the good and refuse the evil under the guidance of reason. So, the proper function of the human intellect is to know the truth, and the proper function of the human will is to choose the good.
ReplyDeleteIt is not the fact that human beings walk, eat, play, and bond in social groups that define a proper human act, because animals do all of these things too. In stead, a proper human act is an act that finds its cause in the human mind. It is a self-determined act that seeks the good as known by the intellect. This type of act cannot be done by an animal, because it lacks an intellectual mind. The behavior of an animal is fixed by nature and instinct. Although an animal has a will, its will is not subject to a rational mind. Hence, its nature guides its will, and it is not free in its choice.
-Loryn S. Feo
According to the Existentialist:
ReplyDeleteAccording to their existential model or view has its origin from philosophy and literature, than from science. It stemmed from the writings of Heidegger, Jaspers, Kierkagaard, and Sarte, and Rollo May.
It is more concerned of the predicament of man in the 20th century. It emphasizes the breakdown of traditional faith, the depersonalization of the individual in a standardized mass culture, and the loss of meaning in human existence.
It is the task of the individual to stand on his own, to shape his own identity, and to make his existence meaningful -- to make his life count for something.
Man is a being that knows rightness and wrongness of his actions that contributes to his knowledge as he lives in this world. A final existential theme is that of non-being or nothingness. In ultimate form, it is death; which is the inescapable fate of all human beings.
According to Dosson Closson,we are image-bearers, we are capable of conscious personal existence. We have self-awareness and moral self- determination. We are also capable of receiving divine communication and of responding in obedience or disobedience.
ReplyDeleteHumans were created to have personal fellowship with God. Man's original position on earth was to be God's agent and to have dominion over His creation.
Mankind without God is in a sinful, rebellious state. Enslaved by sin, he feels guilt and shame, which is real and not simply imagined, as well as an emptiness that should be filled with the fellowship of his Creator.
"Christian Views"
ReplyDelete-Christianity teaches that the universe was created through love by an intelligent power, namely the God of the bible. Creation was purposeful, not arbitrary, and therefor the universe is not morally neutral, but fundamentally good. In this purposeful creation, everything and everyone is intrinsically valuable. God's design or purpose for creation reflects God's intention that all creatures enjoy perfect love an d justice. God works in human beings in the divine image, enabling humans to have some understanding of God and of Gods vast and complex design. the purpose of life is to love and serve God in order to help bring about God's glorious plan of creation

Christianity- as a religion, describing its origin, its relation to other religions, its essential nature and chief characteristics, but not dealing with its doctrines in detail nor its history as a visible organization. These and other aspects of this great subject will receive treatment under separate titles. Moreover, the Christianity of which we speak is that which we find realized in the Catholic Church alone; hence, we are not concerned here with those forms which are embodied in the various non-Catholic Christian sects, whether schismatical or heretical.
ReplyDeleteEXISTENTIALIST. Man has needs and wants maybe in psychological, intellectual, physiological, social and etc. that can help them in their personal development. This philosophical view of man stresses the uniqueness of the individual, his quest for values and meaning, and his freedom for self-direction and self-fulfillment. In this philosophical views of man, man is a being who knows what he knows and being responsible for himself and in human nature. It places strong emphasis upon the individual's obligations to his fellow human beings. the most important consideration is not what one can get out of life, but what can contribute to it. It is in the man's effort to stand on his own for his growth and for his own existence in the world with freedom, knowledge, and wisdom.

Oriental Philosophical
ReplyDeleteTHE first Philosophy in order is the so-called Oriental, which, however, does not enter into the substance or range of our subject as represented here. Its position is preliminary, and we only deal with it at all in order to account for not treating of it at greater length, and to show in what relation it stands to Thought and to true Philosophy. The expression Eastern philosophy is specially employed in reference to the period in which this great universal Oriental conception aroused the East — the land of circumscription and of limitation, where the spirit of subjectivity reigns. More particularly in the first centuries of Christendom — that significant period — did these great Oriental ideas penetrate into Italy; and in the Gnostic philosophy they began to force the idea of the illimitable into the Western mind, until in the Church the latter again succeeded in obtaining the ascendency and hence in firmly establishing the Divine.
Kristel Marie Balleras
CHRISTIAN-Presuming the generic 'man' as in 'mankind' is referred to then Christians hold that humans are made in the image of God and, since they have sinned both individually and generically, mankind needed to be redeemed of 'bought back' to God. This task was undertaken by God Himself in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, who became a man (male) in order to redeem all mankind.
ReplyDeleteSince man is made in God's image he is able to have a personal relation ship with God - this was one of the evil consequences of the fall into sin - that man lost his close personal relationship with God, which is now restored in those who accept Christ, through the Holy Spirit.

Classical View : Greek Philosophy _ Largerly derived from the writings of Plato, Aristotle and the staics. the emphasis of this philosophies is on the distinction between the material and spiritual components of human nature. In platonic though , human nature has both a material and spiritual component. the material component is the body, w/c is temporary and essentially evil, and the spiritual component is the soul (psyche) or the mind , w/c are eternal and good. the human is transcient and mortal white the human soul is permanent and immortal.
ReplyDeleteCHRISTIAN VIEW
ReplyDeleteFundamental to the Christian understanding of human nature is the belief that the first humans were created in the image of God . This derives from Genesis 1:26-27, which declares:
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
What does it mean to be created in the image of God? Certainly it does not mean that humans look like God, for all monotheistic religions believe God to be incorporeal (nonphysical). But theologians have found in this doctrine a rich variety of other meanings, all of which give great dignity and honor to the human race.
Closely related to the imago Dei is the belief that humans were created perfectly good, on which Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are agreed.

ReplyDeleteFundamental to the Christian understanding of human Nature is the belief that the first humans were created in the image of God. This derives from Gen.1:26-27 declares.
*According to Judeo-Christian view of nature,humans are in the image of God and there posses the abilities to love and know their Creator.*Judeo-Christian views states that there are two purposes of life to love God to serve God. It also says that the ability to both of these is open to all human beings whatever their level of Knowledge".If I understand all mysteries and knowledge but have not love, I am nothing"(1Cor.13:2).* Judeo-Christian belief is that the
human is a rational self an immaterial and immortal soul that has consciousness and has the ability to think. It can with God's help control it's wants and desires and has the power to allow reason to rule over passion.* Humans have powerful desires that "weigh" us down from reaching Heaven. Only with the help of God can we overcome our evils and allow reason to rule over our desires.

CLASSICAL VIEW-traditionally,conservative,lebertarians and classical liberals fall into the camp that believes human value is fixed with tendencies towards both good and evil.Classical view is largely derived from writing of Plato,Aristotle and Stoics.The emphasis of these philosophies is on the distinction between the material and spiritual components of human natures.In Platonic thought,human nature has both material and spiritual component.The material component is the body which is temporary and essentially evil; and the spiritual component is soul(psyche)or mind which are eternal and good.

Christian view -(also called Biblical worldview) refers to the framework of ideas and beliefs through which a Christian individual, group or culture interprets the world and interacts with it.A view is a set of presuppositions and beliefs that someone uses to interpret and form opinions about his humanity, purpose in life, duties in the world, responsibilities to family, interpretation of truth, social issues, etc. A Christian should view all these things, and more, guided by the light that is shed upon them by the Bible.
ReplyDeleteCHRISTIAN VIEW on human nature sees humans as neither completely free nor ditermined.We have enough freedom to be responsible for our actions,but our freedom is limited by or created nature,and influenced by the fallen,dysfunctional world which we are born ,raised,and live.
ReplyDeleteAnother view was that man was created good, but through the Fall the image of God became defaced, though not so ruined as not to be capable of restoration; through the work of Christ God redeemed man and began to process of restoring man to goodness, though any given man may choose to reject that redemption.
CLASSICAL VIEW-Human beings have always been curious of God's creation and human behavior,so the study of human goes back to antiquity.It is a topic of sacred,philosophic,and scientific interest.Every human being has an intellect,so everyone can think about their own decision process of self-introspection.
ReplyDeletechristian view
ReplyDeletethe fundamental to the christian understanding of human nature is the first human were created in the image of god.Though man shares with the other animals external and internal senses, he is at the same time also endowed with two qualities peculiar to himself, knowledge and will. By knowledge is meant the power of generalisation, the conception of abstract ideas, and the possession of intellectual truths. By will is meant that strong desire to acquire an object which after due consideration of its consequences has been pronounced by reason to be good. It is quite different from animal desire, nay, it is often the very opposite of it.
