Lesson 7: What Is a Human Person?
An Embodied Spirit
There are two general approaches to study human person, the metaphysical
approach and the existential approach. The former focuses on the composition and
material of a person, while the latter considers the essential features of human life. Others
believe that human being only had body. They believe that a person has a non-body spirit
that is part of its body. They refer to this component as soul, mind, or spirit.
First, it is basically human body that is nothing more than that. It is referred to as
unspirited body view. Second is that human being is simply his/her spirit. This position is
called disembodied spirit view. Human beings are essentially the united body and spirit of
one another. This concept is referred to as embodied spirit view.
Supporters of this view also refer to the state of mind as a brain. There are also
various theories claiming that mental state is an inclination or tendencies to behave in a
certain way. Descartes and Plato believe in the dualism of mind and matter. Plato believes
that souls are immortal and that reality is composed of mind and matter.
Marks of the Mental
The mind is an essential part of our being. Its function is to identify and distinguish
non-human beings. The first step in distinguishing mental states from non-mental states
is to explain how they differ from one another. This second level also focuses on how to
identify the various properties of mind or mental states.
Consciousness
Usually identified with awareness. For instance, if we are aware of the things
around us, then we are sentience or awareness. According to John Searle, consciousness
begins when we wake up after a dreamless night. We use various “consciousness
indicators” to evaluate if someone or something is conscious.
Subjective Quality
A person's conscious experiences is often defined as the way that they
experience their own mental states. This quality is considered unique to the experiences
that they have.
Intentionally
The property of the belief to be tied in with something is deliberateness of the belief.
The intentionality of mental states is innate or unique in that their purposefulness isn't
something that we make or settle on. Their purposefulness inferred prom or forced by the
acquired deliberateness of the personalities that make or settle on it. They are not
intentional without anyone else; they just become purposeful on the grounds that we
choose to make them so. "chair," for example, doesn't without anyone else allude to the
specific thing that it alludes to; it has come to allude to that thing simply because we have
consented to utilize it to allude to that thing.
Ontological Subjectivity
The property of mental states to exist just to the extent that there is a subject, an
individual or whatever other thing who has them or who encounters them. Ontological
subjectivity contrasts ontological objectivity-which is the property of specific things, actual
items to exist without anyone else or to exist even without a subject that is aware of them.
The equivalent is valid or other mental states: convictions and fears can't exist without
anyone else, for they exist just to the extent that there are people or animals who have
them.
Privacy
The property of mental states to be straightforwardly known simply by the subject
or individual who has them. Others can know about my cerebral pain just in a circuitous
manner, through deduction from my conduct of my verbal articulations. Non-mental states,
like actual items and occasions, conversely, are level headed for any individual, on a basic
level, can straightforwardly know them.

Lesson 8: Who is a Human Person?

A Being in the World
A human individual’s past is called facticity by Heidegger. It is the experience of
the human individual that can’t be changed. A human individual is preferably being-close
by simple items or nonhumans. The vital component of human individual being on the
planet is its fleetingness. In being-close by this implies that the chimes appear to human
individual contribution has the personality of thoughtfulness.
In being included in these things, a human individual is either being-close by or
being with these thing or substances. Thus, the universe of the human individual is
separated into two sorts: the equipmental world and the social or public world. As per
Heidegger, the human individual as far as non-binary sort or method of presence, had two
basic highlights. First the individual doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Second, the human
individual has a self that he/she characterizes as non-binary exists on the planet.
A human individual's future is called existentiality by Heidegger which alludes to
the potential outcomes that a human individual has or decides to have. Heidegger called
the present of human individual as falleness which is the condition of human individual is
the point at which non-binary carries on an inauthentic presence. In whole human
individual exist on the planet not similarly as an issue of area in space, however
fundamentally as included or occupied with different things to figure out what is remarkable
about human life on the planet, we need to look at Heidegger distinguishes two different
ways by which human individual gets include with the things on the planet.
 Transcendence and Limitation
Sartre clarifies that the human limit with respect to amazing quality is established
in the property of human cognizance called purposefulness. It is a crucial property of
cognizance since it is more fundamental than the reflexivity of awareness;
deliberateness is an acquired property of awareness since it is something that isn't
dependent upon us. Deliberateness is a major and acquired property of awareness.
Another exceptional trait of human people is their regular limit with regards to amazing
quality. Purposefulness of cognizance is intently attached with opportunity and absence
of a fixed quintessence.
Sartre, as most philosophers acquaints certain specialized terms with recognized
key ideas in his way of thinking. In any case, I feel that if something limits our amazing
quality it will eventually rely upon our decision. The components that break one's
greatness are first, the regular habitat. Second, the body and the final remaining one,
others.
In entirety the capacity to rise above the current circumstance is a piece of nature
of a human individual being a cognizant person. In any case, believing that if something
limits our greatness is eventually based upon our decision.
