Study Notes
Human Person and Human Dignity
- A human person is an individual with rational nature, meaning they can think, make decisions, and reflect on themselves.
- Two key abilities are self-consciousness and freedom to act based on choices.
- Humans are composed of body and soul.
- Body includes senses, physical traits, and temperaments.
- Soul is the spiritual component enabling intellect and will.
- The concept of hylemorphism explains humans as a blend of matter (body) and form (soul).
- Aristotle and Aquinas believed in the inseparable relationship between body and soul.
- There are three types of souls: nutritive (plants - growth and reproduction), sensitive (animals - senses and movement), and rational (humans - intellect and reasoning).
Human Dignity
- Human dignity means every person is valuable, unique, and worthy of respect due to their humanity.
- It is intrinsic (built-in), inalienable (cannot be taken away), and universal (everyone has it).
- Dignity is violated when people discriminate against others, exploit or harm them, or fail to recognize their humanity.
Restoring Dignity
- Recognize and respect every individual.
- Speak kindly and use people's names.
- Protect and support others through daily actions.
Moral Agents
- Humans are moral agents as they can reason and choose.
- Humans are accountable for their actions, striving towards respecting dignity for themselves and others.
Virtues
- Virtues are good habits that help one become a better person.
- Examples of virtues include kindness, courage, fairness, and discipline, acting like superpowers.
- Virtues help people to make good decisions easily, interact well with other people, and face challenges with confidence.
Types of Virtues
- Theological virtues connect oneself with God: Faith, Hope, and Charity.
- Cardinal virtues are fundamental to a good life: Prudence (wisdom), Justice (fairness), Temperance (self-control), and Fortitude (courage).
Importance of Virtues
- Virtues help in making good decisions, fostering kind and fair interactions, improving relationships, and adequately addressing challenges.
- Without virtues, life can become messy, filled with selfishness, laziness, and unfairness. Decision making and fixing mistakes become difficult.
Practicing Virtues
- To practice virtues, one needs to regularly consider what is right, act on it despite challenges, and consistently repeat virtuous actions until they become natural.
Courtship
- Courtship is a period before marriage where people get to know each other better.
- This period helps individuals to understand each other’s personalities and values, fostering trust in each other.
- Compatibility is assessed, discussions on plans for the future are held, and a stronger foundation for marriage is laid.
Marriage
- Marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman based on mutual love and commitment.
- Marriage has essential objectives like procreation, education of children, mutual support, moral and spiritual growth, and sanctification of the couple.
