Subject: Introduction to Philosophy of the Human Person Topic: The Human Person as an Embodied Spirit Prepared by: Marvyn B. Marianito Grade: 11 Semester: 1st Week: 4 Learning Competency: Recognize own limitations and possibilities PPT11/12-If-3.1 ACTIVITY 1: MOTIVATION Describe each picture and answer the question below. What is the relevance to the topic (The Human Person as an Embodied Spirit)? ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 1  The Human Person as an Embodied Spirit Human existence is embodied existence. Many things related to our existence as persons are related to bodies – age, sex, race, relationships, etc. Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. EMBODIMENT Refers to the biological and physical presence of our bodies, which are a necessary precondition for subjectivity, emotion, language, thought and social interaction Limitations of the Human Person as an Embodied Spirit 1. Facticity 3. The Body as Intermediary 2. Spatial-Temporal Being Facticity  Refers to the things in our life that are already given  Refers to all the details that surround us in the present: our environment, our language, our past decisions, our past and present relationships, and even our future death. Spatial-temporal Being  As temporal beings, our most obvious limitation is our finitude – our finite quality or state.  As spatial beings, we are limited by our bodies to be present in two or more places at the same time.  We are limited by space (spatial) and time (temporal). Our spatial-temporal situation sets our preconditions of understanding. The Body as Intermediary  Our body serves as an intermediary between us and the physical world.  Our body limits our experience of the world to our world.  This imposes limitations concerning communication and expression ACTIVITY 2: KNOW YOUR BODY Draw something that best symbolize your body. Answer the following questions 1. Do you own your body? 2. What are your strength and weaknesses? ACTIVITY 3 Identify the category of limitation. 1. We have a limited life span 2 2. We cannot choose our biological family. 3. We can’t teleport instantly to another location in an instant. 4. Words limit our communication with each other. 5. We cannot change our past decision. TRANSCENDENCE Is an ability to change, be dynamic, and continually redefining one’s self which works with our facticity to create change. How do limitations lead to transcendence? 1. Facticity  At times we use our facticity as an excuse for our difficulties and failures. We are free to define who we are and who we are to be. 2. Spatial – temporal being  We are more concerned with the past and/or future that is why we never appreciate the present.  We cannot be at the place where we want to be an instant.. Our spatial – temporal character is an invitation to make the most of our lives. 3. The Body as Intermediary  Having a body may prevent us from disclosing what we really want to express. 3  In most cases, words are not enough. “MAGBABAGO NA AKO PROMISE” This is a challenge for us to be more creative in expressing ourselves. “Make your actions speak louder than words” ACTIVITY 4: Identify if the statement is true or false ______ 1. Some elements of our facticity can never be changed. ______ 2. We can temporarily remove ourselves from our spatial – temporal situation. ______ 3. Having a body as our intermediary to the world gives us a privileged and subjective perspective of the world. ______ 4. We should never change our facticity because it is our destiny to have them. ______ 5. Our limitations challenge us to be creative and responsible. PERFORMANCE TASK: Directions: 1. Make a creative poster that illustrates the limitation of human person. 2. Choose one among the three limitations of human body as embodiment of which you can relate and create a resolution. Example: “I will lose weight tomorrow” Instead of moving the schedule every day, I will make a daily routine plan to turn my day productive and healthy. Reference: Delgaldo, A. (2019, May 18).
