REVIEW QUESTIONS
I. Briefly explain the differences among the following:

1. Existential and Metaphysical approaches to the understanding of human personhood.

Metaphysical Approach which focuses on the kinds of substances or materials and
capacities that uniquely make up a human person while Existential Approach which
focuses on the kind of life, or mode of existence, that is unique to a human person.
2. Unspirited body view, disembodied spirit view, and embodied spirit view.
Unspirited Body View is a human person is essentially just his/her body and nothing more
while Disembodied Spirit View a human person is just his/her spirit, and lastly, the
Embodied Spirit View, it is a human person is essentially the unity of his/her body and
spirit.
3. The kinds of soul according to Aristotle.
The nutritive soul is the first and most widely shared among all living things. The
sensible soul, or the soul of perception, is the part of the soul that allows us to perceive
the world around us. It encompasses the senses but also allows us to remember things
that happened to us, experience pain and pleasure, and have appetites and desires.
Most animals and all humans possess the sensible soul while plants to not. The
rational soul belongs to man alone. The rational soul is that by virtue of which we
possess the capacity for rational thought.
4. Two arguments of Plato for the immortality of the soul.
PLATO'S THEORY OF IMMORTALITY. The dialogue called after Phaedo is interesting
in several respects. It purports to describe the last moments in the life of Socrates: his
conversation immediately before drinking the hemlock, and after, until he loses
consciousness.
 5. Mind and matter according to Descartes.
The mind, according to Descartes, was a "thinking thing" (Latin: res cogitans), and an
immaterial substance. ... The central claim of what is often called Cartesian dualism, in
honor of Descartes, is that the immaterial mind and the material body, while being
ontologically distinct substances, causally interact.

II. Identify and explain the properties of the mind.

human person is a human person is human person is

Human person is what we are in
our existence, how we act, feel,
and respond to different sets of
ideas, thinking process, and
problems as well.
How humans process different
sets of phenomena and what
are the criteria per se of being a
human person.
Human person is a continuation
and development of the idea of
the human being as found in
Aristotle which says that a
human being is composed of
matter and form, the body being
matter and the form being soul.
The form carries the act of
existence of anything.
